Following the attack, Khadiza was initially admitted to Sylhet Osmani Medical College where she had undergone a surgery.

Khadiza was moved to Dhaka following day as her condition deteriorated. On October 4, she was kept on life support in Dhaka’s Square Hospital.

Later on, she was shifted to Savar CRP on November 28, 2016.
