Burned Feni madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi's physical condition is not fit enough to move her to Singapore, said her physician Dr Samanta Lal Sen.

Dr Sen, the Coordinator of the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery, disclosed it after holding a video conference with the doctors of Singapore General Hospital on Tuesday.

The decision was taken after the video conference, he said adding, "Nusrat is not in such a condition to fly for five-hour," reports UNB.

"The doctors in Singapore also gave us several suggestions. We are following their directions and will update them daily. If condition improves, we will think about her transfer," Dr Sen said.

Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has directed doctors to send the victim to Singapore for better treatment.

Nusrat was put on life support around 11:30am on Monday after she was set afire allegedly by students loyal to Principal Sirajuddoula of Sonagazi Islamia Senior Fazil Madrasa in Sonagazi upazila of Feni on Saturday.
