DU BCL activist found dead
Police recovered the body of an activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League of Dhaka University unit from his Azimpur residence in the city yesterday.
Pronob Dasgupta Bablu, 29, was a senior BCL activist of Jagannath Hall and was a president candidate of the hall unit.
Friends and fellows said unknown miscreants with help of his wife might have killed Bablu while police suspected that he might have committed suicide following family feud.
Sub-inspector Tariqul Islam of Lalbagh Police Station told this correspondent, "We found the body hanging from an window grill with his neck tied with bed sheets".
The deceased's wife, Farah Binte Rashid alias Arpa, told police that they engaged in a quarrel after her mobile phone rang with several calls in early hours of yesterday.
Around 4:00am, they went to sleep in separate rooms, she said, adding that she found Bablu's room locked around 11:00am. As she unlocked the door with an alternative key, she found him dead, said Arpa.
Arpa, a City College student, married Bablu about six months ago, said police.
Bablu's friend Pankaj Baroi claimed that Arpa had had a number of boyfriends even after marriage. He said, "How can a man hang himself with a four-foot high window. Bablu's legs were on the ground while the body was tied to the window".
Bablu, hailing from Laksham, Comilla, was a student of physics.
Police sent the body to Dhaka Medical College morgue for autopsy.
