In a distressing incident that unfolded in Bradford’s city center on a Saturday afternoon, a young woman named Kulsama Akter, aged 27 and originally from Bangladesh, was fatally stabbed while pushing a pram. The attack, which has deeply shocked the local community, led to the unfortunate death of Akter, leaving behind an infant aged around four or five months. Witnesses to the event, including Geo Khan who attempted to help the victim, described the scene as harrowing, noting that Akter had no pulse by the time he reached her.

West Yorkshire Police, actively investigating the case, have identified Habibur Masum, a student in the UK, as a suspect in connection with the stabbing.
