Oishee Rahman, convicted of murdering her parents, is now serving as a librarian at the Kashimpur Women’s Central Jail in Gazipur. According to prison officials, she began her sentence at age 19 and has completed 13 years of her 30-year life term under Section 57 of the Penal Code. She spends her days working in the prison library, maintaining the book register, and reading English novels. Oishee reportedly suffers from respiratory illness and maintains good behavior, though she speaks little.

The 2013 murders of retired police officer Mahfuzur Rahman and his wife shocked Dhaka’s Chamelibagh area. Oishee surrendered to police the next day, confessing to the killings before later retracting her statement. In 2015, a lower court sentenced her to death, but the High Court commuted the sentence to life imprisonment in 2017, citing her mental instability, young age, and lack of prior criminal record.

Prison sources said Oishee’s conduct has remained disciplined, and she occasionally tends to flower gardens inside the prison. Her release remains distant, though she continues to await the end of her sentence.
