Nahida Sultana Brishti, a Bangladeshi student who was killed in Florida, was laid to rest on Saturday at her family home in Char Gobindapur village, Madaripur. Her body arrived by ambulance at 1:20 p.m., and hundreds of villagers gathered to pay their last respects. The funeral prayer was held at the Char Gobindapur High School field after Asr prayer, followed by burial beside her grandparents’ graves.
Brishti had completed her undergraduate studies in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Noakhali Science and Technology University and later enrolled in a master’s program at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Before completing it, she received a full scholarship to pursue a PhD at the University of South Florida, where she went on August 25, 2025. The university has decided to award posthumous doctoral degrees to Brishti and fellow student Jamil Ahmed Limon, who were both found dead after going missing on April 17.
Local officials expressed condolences, calling her death an irreparable loss for the country and assuring continued administrative support to her family.
