Missing female garment worker dies at hospital
A garment worker yesterday succumbed to her head injuries allegedly inflicted by a gang of unidentified miscreants at Jurain Kadamtoli in the city on April 22.
Shamsun Nahar, 28, employee of Wonder Apparels Factory at Kadamtoli Alam market, went missing on her way home from work near Alambagh on the evening of April 22.
Her husband Al Amin, 23, found her unconscious in front of the market in the morning of April 23 and took her home. As her condition deteriorated, he took her to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) around 10:00am yesterday where doctors declared her dead.
Amin at DMCH, quoting Shamsun, said some unidentified men attacked her on her way home and forced her to drink a kind of juice, which caused her to fall asleep. She remembered lying in a room with some people standing around her but could not recall anything else, he said.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Abdul Ahad of Kadamtoli Police Station said the workers at the factory claimed that Shamsun came out in the evening with a colleague.
Shamsun was earlier married to a man named Manik and has a six-year-old son in that family, said the SI, adding that police are not ruling out either Manik's or Amin's involvement.
DMCH morgue sources confirmed death due to head injuries and were ascertaining whether she was raped.
