Injured by stalker, little Fatema stops going to school
Injured by a stalker on April 5, a class four student of Abnali Abdul Aziz Registered Primary School in Terokheda upazila of Khulna district has stopped attending school.
The victim, Fatema, 13, had to take shelter at a relative's house in Khulna city following assault and threat by Abdul Ahad, 23, a carpenter of Ikhri village under Terokheda upazila, and his associates, said Fatema's father Abdul Aziz Molla, a farmer of the same village.
Ahad seriously injured her daughter at 10:30am on April 5 when she was going to school, Aziz Molla said in the FIR lodged with Terokheda police station on April 11.
Fatema had to undergo treatment at Khulna Medical College Hospital from April 5 to April 10, the complainant said, adding that the accused also snatched her gold necklace worth Tk 18,000.
OC Matiar Rahman recorded the FIR as a regular case and made SI Badruzzaman its investigation officer.
"Fatema sustained fractures in her spinal chord and legs as Ahad on April 5 hit her with an iron hammer. The stalker got angry as Fatema's father refused to withdraw an abduction case filed earlier and marry her to Ahad," said Md Ruhul Amin, headmaster of Abdul Aziz Registered Primary School.
On June 8 last year, Aziz lodged an FIR with the same police station against Ahad for attempting to kidnap Fatema and police arrested the accused the following day.
But he was released on bail in November and started disturbing the girl even more. Fatema and her father received death threats six times since November last year as they refused to withdraw the under trial case against Ahad.
Even after filing of the second case, Ahad is moving at large at Terokheda and Khulna city, said the complainant.
Contacted, OC Matiar Rahman said, "I am sincerely trying to arrest the accused as there are sufficient pieces of evidence against him in connection with the second case filed on April 11."
