A college girl allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan at Mirpur while a garment worker died from a fall from the rooftop of a building at Tejgaon in the capital on Wednesday.
At Mirpur, 18-year-old Rini Akter, daughter of Abdul Aziz, committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling fan in her bedroom of their Pirerbagh house between 3:00am and 6:00am, family members said.
Rini was a first-year undergraduate student at Mirpur University College, said her sister Dula Akter. She said Rini committed suicide after her lover Mohammad Obaid, a Bangladeshi expatriate in Malaysia, had committed suicide three days ago in Malaysia following a brawl with her over telephone.
The police recovered the body from the house at around 6:00am and sent it to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for post-mortem examinations.
A case of unnatural death was filed in this connection.
At Tejgaon, 40-year-old Abdul Razzak accidentally fell to the ground from the rooftop of the six-storey garment factory, where he worked, while he was playing cricket with coworkers during the launch break on Wednesday, police said.
Razzak, son of Lokman Bepari, died on the spot. His body was later taken to the DMCH morgue for autopsy.
