Man found dead hours after wife's body recovered from house
A man was found dead near a rail track in Charghat upazila of Rajshahi yesterday morning hours after his wife was found dead at home.
Mithun alias Pitar, 35, -- an unemployed man -- might have committed suicide under the train wheels at Solua rail gate around 9:00am, said police.
On Saturday afternoon, police recovered the body of Mithun's wife Nazrin Akhtar Sumi, 25, -- an honours student of Rajshahi Government College -- from their house at Sahapur in Rajshahi city.
Sumi's brother Sumon, who filed a case following the incident, alleged that Mithun and his family members killed his sister by pressing hard a pillow on her face for dowry.
Police arrested Mithun's father Abdul Mazid on the night and Mithun went into hiding.
Sumon said Mithun married his sister four months ago and started demanding Tk 1.5 lakh as dowry. On Saturday noon, Sumi called him and asked to take her home as Mithun and his family members were pressurising her into getting dowry from her family.
