DMP’s Ramna division Deputy Commissioner Maruf Hossain Sardar on Sunday told bdnews24.com: “The girl was being treated at DMCH. She passed away around 8:30am.”
 
The 14-year-old was an eighth grader at the school. Her father is ‘Ramzan’ and mother Tania Begum. The family lives at Old Dhaka’s Siddik Bazar.
 
Risha was stabbed in her stomach and hand by a youth on the footover bridge in front of her school at Kakrail on Wednesday afternoon.
 
Quoting her mother Tania, Ramna police OC Moshiur Rahman on Wednesday had said that a youth named ‘Obayed’, working in a tailoring shop at Eastern Mollika Shopping Complex, had been ‘disturbing’ Risha over phone for some months.
 
“She suspected that Obayed was the one who stabbed Risha,” Rahman said.
 
Police later found out that Obayed had quit his job two months ago.
 
DC Maruf Hossain Sardar said Risha’s mother had started a case against Obayed with Ramna police on Wednesday.
 
Police questioned four staff of the tailoring shop, but they are yet to catch Obayed, he said.​
