She reported the assault on the same day. She went along with her family to the police station.

Did she get a good response from the Police? Apparently not. Instead, she was filed on the cell phone by the police officer in front of her family. The video which was later leaked on social media.

The police officer is also heard saying “It’s no big deal.” She is also heard asking her to move her hands from her face.

The headmaster was arrested after she went to report her sexual assault on 27th March. Things did not get better for her though, it only got worse for Nusrat Jahan Rafi.

A protest was arranged by two male student and the people gathered outside demanded the release of the headmaster. BBC has reported some of the local politicians were also allegedly present in the protest.

People were blaming Nusrat Jahan Rafi, and her family started fearing for her safety.

On 6th April after 11 days Nusrat went to her school for her final exams.

Mahmudul Hasan Noman, Nusrat’s brother said he was stopped from entering the school and she had to go by herself.

Police Bureau of Investigation chief Banaj Kumar Majumder, said the killers tried to make it look like a suicide. Their plan failed because she was rescued and gave her statement before dying.

Doctors at the local hospital found 80% her body covered in burns. Nusrat Jahan Rafi was than taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital as they were unable to treet her at the local hospital.
