A female dentist died on Thursday evening after she had sustained a critical injury in an attack by unnamed assailants in her house at Sutrapur in the capital, the police and hospital sources said.
The deceased, Rupa Rani Dey, 25, was a resident of Justice Lalmohan Das Street in the area.
The victim's husband Sagar Chandra Dey and his brother Sumon Chandra Dey said that assailants had attacked Rupa and looted valuables from the house.
Rupa was sent to National Medical College Hospital in a critical condition and as her condition deteriorated, she was referred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. She died on the way.
The police, however, brushed aside the robbery allegation and detained Sagar because of the inconsistency in the statement he made.
'We are investigating the incident,' the Sutrapur police officer-in-charge (investigation) Abdur Rashid, said,
Hospital sources said that the body had several injuries.
