Lakshmipur: A woman was stabbed in her chest and abdomen by unidentified attackers while returning home by a rickshaw at Lakshmirpur town on Friday night.

Farhana Akhter, in her thirties, is now undergoing treatment at the Sadar hospital.

Farhana, a former paramedic at Mother and Child Care Centre of a Save the Children project in Lakshmipur, is from Adabaria at Bhangura in Pabna.

Now she is a tenant at Sabita Rani’s house in the town. She is attending graduation second-year exams under Bangladesh Open University at the Lakshmipur Government College.

On Friday, Farhana took an exam in the morning and returned home. She left her house for his village home but failed to get any transport until Friday evening. Later she got on a rickshaw to get back to her rented house.

Attackers stopped her at Shakharipara area at about 10:00pm and started stabbing.

When Farhana shouted for help, the miscreants ran away. She was immediately taken to the hospital by local people.

Farhana in hospital told reporters that the attack might have been directed by her husband Ashfakur Rahman Mamun, a doctor in Lakshmipur Health and Family Planning Office.

They got married at Surma Valley Guest House in Sylhet on 27 December 2015, but later Ashfakur Rahman refused to accept her as his wife, claimed Farhana.

She also said that she had all the documents and recordings of phone conversation with her husband.

Mamun warned her not to go back to Lashmipur and if she did so, consequence would be dire, she said.

Farhana, however, went to Lakshmipur to take the exams and was attacked by the miscreants.

Ashfakur Rahman Mamun, however, denied the allegations and said he had no relations with Farhana.

He complained that earlier Farhana tried to collect money from him by staging false claims.

Lakshmipur hospital doctor Anwar Hossain said Farhana got injured in her abdomen and chest.

Lakshmipur Additional Police Super Md Shahnewaz, UNO Mohammad Nuruzzaman and Officer-in-charge of Sadar police station Abdullah Al Mamun visited the girl in hospital.
