Download PDF Victim of acid violence on the wedding night, Sabina succumbed to her injuries yesterday morning after struggling for 22 days at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) burn unit.
Talking to this correspondent only three days ago, Sabina had expressed optimism about her survival saying that a foreign expert had said so after examining her.
She, however, also deplored that she was not getting proper treatment and financial assistance.
When contacted, Dr Samanta Lal Sen, project director of DMCH Burn and Plastic Surgery Unit, told The Daily Star yesterday that Sabina was given the best treatment available at the hospital.
Daughter of Sirajuddin of Dighol Kolla under Karimganj upazila of Kishoreganj, Sabina Yasmin, 20, was married to Khairul Islam of Tumni Pitua of the same upazila on January 18.
Sabina’s father Sirajuddin, ‘burdened’ with five daughters and two sons, told this correspondent yesterday at Dhaka Medical College Morgue that he married off Sabina as he got a ‘good proposal’. But he did not know that Khairul had illicit relation with a neighbouring lady, he said.
Only hours after the marriage, Sabina fell prey to the vengeance of some neighbouring people who had long dispute with her husband’s family.
With 55 per cent of her body acid-burnt, she was rushed to Kishoreganj Sadar Hospital in the early hours of January 19 and later shifted to DMCH.
Police could not arrest any of the four people accused in the case filed in connection with the incident.
