A youth allegedly stabbed a tenth-grader after she refused his proposal of a relationship in Jhaudia Bazar area of the district town on Saturday afternoon, reports UNB.

Police, however, detained a man, who allegedly assisted the youth in stabbing her, from the area at night.

The victim girl, who has been undergoing treatment at a hospital, said a man from the locality named Ashraful Islam conveyed a message to her through his friend to meet him at a restaurant after her tuition in the afternoon.

“However, I found Rana instead of Ashraful there. I came to know that Ashraful was also there, but he had left before I went there. At one point Rana proposed me, but I refused,” she said.

Rana locked into an altercation with her over the refusal of his proposal and stabbed her with sharp weapons when she finally cleared her stance about the relationship, the victim said from her hospital bed.

Ashraful Alam, a residential medical officer of the hospital, said the body had marks of injuries made by sharp weapons like blade or knife.

Annur Jayed, officer-in-charge of Kushtia Islami University police station, said they have already detained the Ashraful from the area.

Efforts are on to nab the main accused Rana and a process is underway to register a case, he added.
