Chattogram Bureau:
Dhaka, Aug-14,
A couple allegedly
ended their lives in their house at Kurmaikul village in Rangunia upazila of
Chattogram district on Friday evening.
The deceased were
identified as Mohammad Iskandar, 24, son of Shah Alam, and his wife Ruma Akter,
22. They are survived by a 15th-month-old son.
Quoting local people,
police said Iskandar, who worked in Qatar, returned to the country on August 10
to be with his wife of two years, child and parents for some time.
On Friday evening,
Iskandar’s mother Firoza Begum found the couple’s room locked from inside.
Getting no response from inside, Firoza peeped through the window of the room
and found both of them hanging from the ceiling with a rope.
She immediately raised
an alarm, and local people broke open the door and informed the police.
Khan Nurul Islam,
officer-in-charge of Rangunia Police Station, said a team soon rushed to the spot
and sent the bodies to the local hospital morgue for an autopsy.
However, Jamal Uddin,
father of Ruma, alleged foul play. He claimed that Arif, the brother-in-law of
her daughter, used to stalk her often and he had killed the couple.
"A probe is
on," the OC said.
