Earlier, Nusrat’s body was sent to the forensics department for a post-mortem at 9am on Thursday.
Nusrat’s Namaz-e-Janaza is set to be held after the Asr prayer at Mohammad Saber Pilot High School grounds in Sonagazi upazila. She will be laid to eternal rest beside her grandmother’s grave at her native home Uttar Charsandia.
The teenage madrasa student from Feni’s Sonagazi upazila passed away around 9:30pm on Wednesday after her condition deteriorated critically.
Nusrat’s family says the girl was set on fire by supporters of Sonagazi Islamia Fazil (Degree) Madrasa Principal, Sirajuddaula, on the institute’s roof on April 6, for previously lodging a rape attempt case against him.
