College student Khadiza Akter, who was undergoing treatment at Savar Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) after being stabbed by a BCL leader in Sylhet, returned home on Friday morning.
Khadiza arrived in Sylhet by a flight of Biman with her father and brother after around five months’ treatment at Square Hospital in Dhaka and CRP.

“After three-month long physiotherapy at CRP, I can now do my normal activities without any assistance from others,” Khadiza told reporters.
She said she will appear before the court for the first time on Sunday to give her testimony in the case filed over the attack on her.
Our family is grateful to prime minister Sheikh Hasina for extending help for Khadiza’s treatment,” said Khadiza’s elder brother Shaheen Ahmed.
Khadiza, a second-year degree student of Sylhet Govt Mohila College, was stabbed by Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) unit BCL leader Badrul Alam on her way home from MC College after appearing in an examination on 3 October, following the refusal of his proposal for having an affair with him.
Hearing the victim’s screams, other students rescued Khadiza, caught Badrul and handed him over to police after giving him a good thrashing.
Khadiza was first taken to Sylhet Osmani Medical College Hospital from where she was moved to Square Hospitals in Dhaka as her condition deteriorated.
She was moved to CRP from the Square Hospitals on November 28.
On November 8, police pressed charges of attempt to murder against Badrul who was later indicted in the case.
