The deceased’s uncle, Md. Selim, said,
“আমার ভাগ্নে মালিবাগ চৌধুরীপাড়ার নয়াচর এলাকার একটি বাসার সাততলায় পরিবারের সঙ্গে ভাড়া থাকত। সে বিআম মডেল স্কুল অ্যান্ড কলেজ থেকে এবারের এইচএসসি পরীক্ষার্থী ছিল। পারিবারিকভাবে যতটুকু জানতে পেরেছি, একটি মেয়ের সঙ্গে তার সম্পর্ক ছিল।আজ সকালে ওই মেয়ের ওপর অভিমান করে নিজ ঘরের দরজা বন্ধ করে গলায় ওড়না পেঁচিয়ে ফ্যানের সঙ্গে ঝুলে পড়ে আমার ভাগ্নে। পরে বিষয়টি জানতে পেরে অচেতন অবস্থায় দ্রুত ঢাকা মেডিকেলে নিয়ে গেলে চিকিৎসক মৃত ঘোষণা করেন।”
Translation: “My nephew lived with his family on the seventh floor of a house in Nayachar area of Malibagh Chowdhurypara. He was a HSC candidate from B.A.M. Model School and College this year. As far as I know from the family, he was in a relationship with a girl. This morning, out of pride for that girl, my nephew locked the door of his house, tied a scarf around his neck, and hung himself from the fan. Later, when he learned about the matter, he was rushed to Dhaka Medical College in an unconscious state, where the doctor declared him dead.”
DMCH Hospital Police Camp In-charge Inspector Md. Faruk confirmed the student’s death, citing the doctor. He said,
“মরদেহ হাসপাতালের জরুরি বিভাগের মর্গে রাখা হয়েছে।”
Translation: “The body has been kept in the hospital’s emergency department morgue.”
The incident has cast a shadow of grief over the area. Classmates, family and neighbours have expressed deep grief over the tragic death of the young student.
The increasing tendency of young people to make emotional decisions regarding love affairs is a concern – sociologists are stressing the importance of timely counselling and family support.
