The deceased was Karima Aktar, 16, a student of Baburhat High School and daughter of Kamal Hossain Mal, of ward-14 in Chandpur municipality.

Karima's father Kamal Hossain said in the morning they found Karima's room locked from inside for a longtime and they started calling her.

Getting no reply, they broke open the door and found her body hanging from the ceiling.

He said they have collected some papers as evidence from Karima's room.
