Hafsa Akter, a woman, was attacked by acid on 05/07/2024. She was attacked by her husband Humayun Kabir while residing at her father’s home, Village: Brahmin Jati, Post: Kendua, Police Station: Kendua, District: Netrakona. She is presently 33 years old.
According to reports, Hafsa was distressed due to her husband’s poor romantic relationship and physical weakness. She suggested that he seek treatment, but he refused. As a result, he became increasingly argumentative, confrontational, and verbally and physically abusive towards her. After Eid-ul-Adha in 2024, the abuse escalated, and he began beating her. Unable to bear the situation any longer, Hafsa moved to her father’s house and firmly declared that she would not return to her husband’s family. In response, her husband began threatening her, warning her not to start a new life with anyone else. This conflict culminated in a horrific incident where the accused threw acid through the window of Hafsa’s father’s house using a clinical syringe around 7:30 pm.
Her right eye, right ear, mouth, and throat were burnt and her stomach was damaged by acid. After the incident, her relatives quickly poured water on her and then rushed her to Kendua Adampur Health Complex. She was referred to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital for advance treatment and was discharged from the hospital, after being admitted for 4 days. Currently, she is staying at her father’s house.
A case has been filed in Kendua police station on 05/07/2024. At present, the accused is absconding.
Hafsa Akter said, “She is required medical treatment and the accused should be arrested & punished under the appropriate laws”. Hafsa who was contacted by the Acid Survivors Foundation team, was asked to visit ASF for necessary assistance.
Your contribution can be preventing acid attacks and helping the survivors live life with peace, happiness, and dignity.
