15-Year-Old Girl's Suicide
Schoolmate's two sisters sued
A case was filed yesterday against two sisters of schoolboy Rony for pushing his schoolmate Sadia Akhter Pinky into committing suicide.
Threatened by the two with dire consequences if an abduction case against them was not withdrawn, 15-year-old Pinky took her life on Sunday at her grandmother's residence in the capital's Manda.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid yesterday visited the residence and assured the family members of bringing to book the accused. The schoolgirl was buried in Sonargaon of Narayanganj yesterday after an autopsy at Dhaka Medical College (DMC), which confirmed that she committed suicide, said DMC sources.
A junior school certificate examinee at a Jatrabari school, Pinky was abducted by Rony on November 28.
Four days later, police rescued her from a house in Araihazar of Narayanganj, and arrested Rony from the spot and later his sister Pakhi in an abduction case. Pakhi had attained bail. Pinky's father Babul Hossain told The Daily Star that his daughter took her life failing to stand humiliation and threat by Rony's sisters.
