Woman killed for dowry
A man allegedly killed his wife for dowry in Ujirpur upazila of the district early yesterday.
The victim, Rima Begum, 25, was daughter of Akkel Ali of adjacent Gournadi upazila.
Sub-Inspector Shishir, also acting officer-in-charge (OC) of Ujirpur Police Station, said, following a case filed by the deceased's father, they detained Rima's husband Shipon Howlader and his parents Ismail Howlader and Sufia Khatun.
Rima's brother Arif said Shipon and his dowry-greedy parents often used to torture his sister for dowry since their marriage one and a half years ago.
`Around 12:30am Shipon phoned us and said Rima was admitted to Ujirpur Health Complex,” Arif said, adding that he saw several injury marks on his sister's body.
OC Shishir said reason behind the death will be clear after the autopsy report.
