<i>Suicide victim passes JSC exam </i>
Sadia Akhter Pinky
Pinky, a 15-year-old girl who appeared in this years' JSC examinations, could not know her results as she was pushed into committing suicide following her abduction by her classmate, Rony, and later on threats from his sisters to withdraw a case. Sadia Akhter Pinky secured GPA-3+ (grade B) in the junior school certificate (JSC) examinations, which were published yesterday. The victim's family claimed an upset Pinky hanged herself on Sunday after Rony's two sisters had threatened Pinky's family with dire consequences if an abduction case, which was filed against Rony was not withdrawn. Rony, 18, hailing from Jatrabari, abducted Pinky on November 28. Pinky's family filed an abduction case with Jatrabari Police Station on December 2 and Jatrabari police rescued her the following day from Narayanganj. Police arrested Rony and his sister, Pakhi, in this connection and produced the duo before a Dhaka court. The court sent the two to jail but Pakhi was released on bail about a week before Pinky's suicide. On Sunday, Pakhi along with her sister came to Pinky's house and demanded the family withdraw the abduction case against Rony. Following their visit, Pinky committed suicide. Babul Hossain, Pinky's father, filed a case with Mugda Police Station on Monday against Rony's two sisters for pushing Pinky into committing suicide. Babul, breaking down before The Daily Star, said his daughter would have been very happy had she known her results. He demanded immediate arrest and trial of Pakhi and her sister. Masud Karim, officer-in-charge of Mugda Police Station, said they have been trying to nab the two sisters.
