A schoolgirl killed herself by hanging at Motijheel AGB colony in the capital last night.
Dead Sumaiya Akhter, 12, was a class six student at Motijheel Model High School, family members said.
Abdul Awal Kamrul, her maternal uncle, alleged that a youth named Selim of Arambagh had been teasing her for quite some time on her way to and from school. Her mother rebuked her over the matter just last evening, he added.
"She hanged herself from a ceiling fan with her scarf," he said.
Her parents were not home at that time.
On coming home around 8:00pm, her parents found her hanging and sent her to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where doctors declared her dead.
