Nahida Sultana Brishti, a former student of Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU), has been confirmed dead in the United States. Her brother, Zahid Hasan Pranto, announced the news on social media on Saturday, April 25, 2026, citing confirmation from U.S. police. Investigators identified her remains through DNA testing of blood samples and a body part recovered from a suspect’s residence. Authorities have not yet clarified whether her full body has been recovered.
Nahida was a student of the 13th batch in the Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering department at NSTU and was pursuing a PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of South Florida. Her death has cast deep sorrow over her family and the university community.
She was last seen on April 16 at the Tampa residence of another Bangladeshi student, Jamil Limon, whose mutilated body was later found near the Howard Frankland Bridge. Police have arrested an American citizen, Hisham Saleh Abugarbieh, whose home yielded the evidence linking to Nahida’s death.
