Female Student's Suicide: 'Punish JU teacher'

Students and teachers of Jahangirnagar University (JU) formed a human chain yesterday demanding expulsion of the teacher allegedly responsible for the suicide of Majria Jannat Sumi, a master's student of history department.

Speaking at the programme organised by students of history department in front of the administration building, Sumi's classmates said, "The ongoing movement will continue until the guilty is punished."

Later, the students submitted a memorandum to JU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Sharif Enamul Kabir in this regard.

Sumi was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her university dormitory room on August 9. Her friends and family alleged that she committed suicide after the teacher refused to marry her.
