Dhaka University student commits ‘suicide’

A student of Bangla Department of Dhaka University from 2016-17 academic session apparently committed suicide in his dormitory on Monday, reports news agency UNB.

Police recovered the hanging body of Manjurul Islam from his room (no. 165) of Salimullah Muslim Hall at around 6.30 pm on Monday. He was from Gopalganj district.

Students from the adjoining rooms said that he “committed suicide out of frustration” as he was suffering from family problems and academic lapses.

He said police were working on the next course of action following the sad incident.

“Police are cooperating with us,” he said.
