The Suicide Note
Before taking his own life, Sajib wrote a short note. In the note, he shared how tired he felt. He wrote:
“I am tired of constantly fighting with myself. I just want some rest. Please forgive me. I couldn’t return the love you gave me.”
This note shows how much he was struggling mentally and emotionally.
Why Did Sajib Take This Step?
According to Sajib’s friends and classmates, he had been suffering from severe depression for a long time. Most of his classmates had already passed their MBBS exams and started their internships. But Sajib was still stuck in the third year.
His roommate, Suman Halder, said that Sajib often felt sick and weak because he could not handle the pressure of medical studies. He had a strong fear of attending classes and taking exams. This fear and pressure made his mental health worse.
Suman also shared that on that Thursday night, Sajib used two medicines — Clonazepam and Fluoxetine — and injected them into his veins. These are psychiatric drugs and can be dangerous if misused.

The Officer-in-Charge of Kotwali Police Station, Mizanur Rahman, could not be reached for any comments regarding the incident.
