Jahanara, a 40-year-old woman from Satkhira, was brutally attacked with acid on July 18, 2024, reportedly due to a past extramarital relationship with the perpetrator and ongoing financial disputes. Despite both being married and Jahanara having her own family, the attack occurred when she refused to continue the relationship. Jahanara, who works for an organization called Prerna, had the incident reported to the Acid Survivors Foundation (ASF) shortly after it occurred. Initially admitted to Sadar Hospital, she was later transferred to the Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka for specialized treatment, as the attack left over 30 percent of her body severely burned.The ASF has committed to supporting Jahanara throughout her recovery. After her discharge from the hospital, she continues to receive outpatient care from ASF, along with financial assistance to aid in her recovery. Additionally, she has been provided with Taka 10,000 to ensure she can maintain a nutritious diet.
A case has been filed at Satkhira, Kaliganj police station. The accused is not arrested yet.
