On 6 April, Nusrat was set afire at an examination centre allegedly by people loyal to the principal of her madrasa after he was arrested and subsequently suspended as she had accused him of sexually harassing her in Sonagazi upazila of Feni district.

Nusrat Jahan lost her battle for life on 10 April at Dhaka Medical College Hospital in the capital.
