Rumana to return home with her eyes beyond treatment

Rumana Monzur, the Dhaka University teacher who was sent to India for treatment after being brutally tortured by her husband, will return home Monday as eye specialists in India found no hope for her eyes, the family members said.

'She was examined by the eye specialists both at Sankara Nethralaya in Chennai and Aravind Eye Hospital in Pondicherry during her five-day stay in India but the eye-specialists spoke negatively about her eyes,'   one of the family members told New Age Saturday evening.

After undergoing treatment in Labaid Specialised Hospital in Dhaka for more than a week, Rumana along with her parents and only daughter went to Chennai on June 14 for better treatment of her eyes.

'They are scheduled to reach Kolkata on Sunday and if flight is available, they will reach Dhaka on Monday,' the family member said.

Meanwhile, Bangladeshi people in Vancouver and at the University of British Columbia, who know Rumana Monzur, in a statement on Saturday, expressed deep sympathy for Rumana.

'We are simply speechless, appalled, and deeply hurt in the incident of the false accusation of Rumana's extramarital affair,' the statement read.

The victim's father, Major (Retd) Monzur Hossain, filed a case with the Dhanmondi police station on June 6 against Hasan Syeed, husband of Rumana, on charge of attempting to kill his daughter.

A team of the Detective Branch on Wednesday arrested Hasan from his relative's house at Uttar Mugda.

Hasan will be produced in a Dhaka court today by the case investigator after completing his two-day remand.
