Roshana Khatoon’s story is one that leaves a deep, unforgettable weight on the heart. On February 25, 2026, during Ramadan—a month meant for reflection, compassion, and restraint—Roshana became the victim of brutal assault and public humiliation costing her life. According to media reports, the residence of Amhi village in Ghoghardiha block, Bihar, Khatoon was beaten relentlessly for hours. Kicks, punches, and blows from sticks left her body battered and weak, but the violence did not stop even when she was barely conscious.
What followed was even more disturbing. She was dragged out in public, was forced onto the ground, and was tied to a pole. The assault continued in full view. Her body, already failing, could not withstand the continued brutality.
Amid all this, Roshana was fasting. Dehydrated and in severe pain, she begged for water, but she was met with further degradation. She was allegedly forced to consume a mixture of alcohol and urine, an act that compounded her physical suffering with deep emotional and psychological trauma.
By the time she was taken to Patna Medical College and Hospital, her condition had deteriorated beyond recovery. On March 1, 2026, Roshana Khatoon succumbed to her injuries. Khatoon belonged to the family with fragile financial stability; the medical expenses and legal procedures of the case already demanded them both financially and emotionally. Amidst this mourning and suffering, Miles2Smile contacted the family through phone conversation.
Days after the incident, the family remains engulfed in the same grief and anguish. Their financial condition has deteriorated further, to the extent that their children’s education stands on the brink of being disrupted. Mile2smile provided the family monetary assistance of Rs. 1,00,000 to meet their immediate legal assistance. Furthermore, the organisation embraced the expenses of the children. This small act eased their burden a little bit and made them feel they belong and are heard.
