The hanging body of a young lady was recovered from a flat in the Gulshan area of Dhaka early Friday.
She was identified as Jannatul Nowrin Esha, 22, daughter of Ershad Sikder, who was hanged by the state in 2004 for a litany of crimes, and his second wife Shova Akter.
Esha was found hanging around 5:30 am on Friday. She was rushed to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) in the morning where doctors declared her dead.
Her cousin Russo said Esha passed HSC from the capital’s City College. She had been living with her mother at Subasto Tower in Gulshan. She was said to be facing relationship problems in her love life.
She and her boyfriend locked into an altercation on Thursday evening, the cousin said. Then Esha went to sleep after having dinner. She made no response when her mother called her early in the morning. With the help of neighbours, the door of the room was broken and she was found hanging from the ceiling fan.
Several injury marks were also found on her hands, he added.
The body has been kept at the morgue for autopsy, said Bachhu Mia, in charge of the DMCH police outpost.
This was informed to Gulshan police, Bachhu Mia added.
