Housewife's body found hanging in Sylhet
A housewife reportedly committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan in Beanibazar upazila of the district on Friday afternoon.
The deceased was identified as Ripa Akter, 24, wife of Russell Ahmed and daughter of Abdur Rahman of Poilgram in Charkhai Union.
According to police and locals, Ripa's husband returned home around 1:30 p.m. to find the door of their residence locked from the inside. After receiving no response to his calls, he, along with neighbors, forced the door open and discovered Ripa hanging from a ceiling fan with a scarf (orna) wrapped around her neck.
Believing she might still be alive, they immediately rushed her to the Upazila Health Complex, where the attending physician pronounced her dead.
Abu Jafar Md. Mahfuzul Karim, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Beanibazar Police Station, said the body has been sent to the Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital morgue for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death, reports UNB.
