Jahangirnagar University history students on Saturday brought out mourning procession and formed a human chain on the campus, commemorating a student of the department who committed suicide last week.

About a hundred students from different departments also joined the programmes began at about 11:00am.

Master's degree student Marzia Jannat Sumi of batch 35 committed suicide by hinging with a ceiling-fan at her room in Jahanara Imam hall on Wednesday.

The university authorities a day after the incident formed 3-member investigation committee on Thursday to probe the suicide and asked it to submit reports within a month.

The speakers at the human chain said that a botany teacher, who is supposedly abetted Marzia Jannat to commit suicide, should be punished.

They complained that the university authorities was not enough careful to find out the truth that forced Marzia to death.

They also alleged that the university authorities gave long time to the investigation committee so that the justice could not be established among procrastination.
