Two girls commit suicide in capital
Two teenage girls allegedly committed suicide at the capital's Mirpur and Rampura on Monday night and yesterday.
Officer-in-charge (OC) of Rampura Police Station Delwar Hossain said police recovered the body of Mukta from a house at Malibagh Chowdhury Para at around 11:00pm on Monday.
Mukta had been living in the house with two sons of a man named Rafiqul Islam, who adopted her, since November 2011 as Rafiqul and his wife have been living in Saudi Arabia for the last six months, said the OC.
The two sons Raquibul Islam and Shafiqul Islam, students of two private universities, went to attend an invitation at Songargaon in Narayanganj in the morning, leaving Mukta alone in the house.
Raquibul returned home at 10:30pm and found the main door of the flat open but the door of Mukta's room locked from inside. When she did not respond to his call, he along with the neighbours broke open the door and found her body hanging from a ceiling fan with two scarves.
Raquibul informed the matter to police. Police went to the spot and detained Raquibul.
The police said they found the body lying on the floor.
Raquibul told the police that Mukta had an affair with a youth whom they had sublet a room of their flat. The youth went to Chittagong last week. Raquibul suspected that Mukta might have committed suicide due to some problem in her relation with the youth, said the police.
Meanwhile, Kafrul police recovered the body of Shapla, a garments worker, from her house at section-13 in Mirpur yesterday morning. The police said she allegedly hanged herself from the ceiling fan with a scarf.
Shapla, who lived with her parents, went to sleep at 12 midnight and might have committed suicide afterwards, said the police.
The reason behind the suicide could not be known.
