A man committed suicide by hanging after feeding poison to his two kids at Baro Alampur village in Pirganj upazila under the district on Saturday night.

Abed Ali, 40, son of Abdul Mannan of the village, committed the brutal act over a family feud, said family members.
Abed was working as a rickshaw-puller in the capital for last few months.
Returning home on Thursday, he got aggrieved to find that his wife Waleda Khatun, 30, returned to her father's house at Mamudpur village of the same upazila, Md Israil Hossain, officer in charge (OC) of Pirganj Police Station, said referring to family members and villagers.
On Saturday morning, Abed went to his father-in-law's house and returned along with his two kids -- Kona Begum, 6, and Apon Babu, 3.
Later around 9:00pm, Abed fed poison to his kids and hanged himself from the ceiling of his room.
Hearing scream of the kids, relatives and villagers rushed in and took them to Pirganj Upazila Health Complex from where they were referred to Rangpur Medical College Hospital.
Kona died there around 1:00pm yesterday while Apon's condition is critical, hospital sources said.
"We sent the bodies to the hospital morgue for autopsy. An unnatural death case was lodged in this connection," said OC Israil Hossain.
