A school girl was hacked with a sharp weapon after she refused to agree to a marriage proposal in Katiyadi of Kishoganj. The incident took place in Charia village of Chandpur Union of Upazila yesterday. The accused Monir (20) was arrested by Katiyadi Model Police Station. The police arrested him yesterday afternoon from the Boalia area of the upazila. Accused Monir was the son of Nidu Mia of Kurikhai village of Mumurdia Union of Upazila.
The injured schoolgirl was a class 10 student of Boalia Tahera Noor School and College of the same upazila. Accused Monir and the schoolgirl are distant relatives. According to the police and local sources, Monir used to visit the house of the schoolgirl's father because of his relationship. Monir intended to marry a schoolgirl. But the schoolgirl did not like Monir. When Monir proposes marriage to her, the schoolgirl refuses. Enraged by this, he started looking for revenge. Meanwhile, Monir often used to harass the students on the way to and from school.

The family members rescued the schoolgirl and took her to a local private hospital. The schoolgirl's mother said, "When Monir proposed marriage to my daughter, she refused.

I demand exemplary punishment for this incident.
