Nusrat, who was an Alim examinee, suffered 80% burns when she was set on fire on the roof of the institution at Sonagazi upazila on April 6, by four unknown burqa-clad assailants who were Sirajuddaula’s supporters.
She was attacked for refusing to withdraw a case her family had filed last month against now-suspended madrasa Principal Sirajuddaula, for sexually harassing and assaulting her.
The 18-year-old girl succumbed to her injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on April 10.
