1 more arrested over Nusrat murder

The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) has arrested another person in connection with the murder of Feni madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi.

Muhammad Sharif, one of the planners of the murder, was arrested on Wednesday morning, said Feni PBI Additional Special Superintendent of Police Moniruzzaman, but he didn’t disclose further details. 

Police have so far arrested 14 people in connection with the murder.

Nusrat, a student of Sonagazi Islamia Senior Fazil Madrasa, was set on fire on April 6 allegedly for refusing to withdraw a case filed against the principal Siraj Ud Doula for sexually harassing her on March 27. 

She lost her battle for life on April 10, five days after she was set afire - an incident that sparked outrage all over the country.
