Girl’s hanging body found in M’singh
Police yesterday recovered a girl's body hanging from a tree branch from Atharadana village in Gafargaon upazila of Mymensingh.
Although it looked like a case of suicide by hanging, locals found the girl's feet touching the ground, clothes torn, and her cellphone beside the spot, arousing suspicion among locals and police.
The victim was identified as Taqmina (17), daughter of a carpenter of adjacent Parabharot village in Gafargaon.
She completed her SSC from local Atharadana High School last year, but could not get herself admitted to a college due to poverty. She used to do tailoring work to support her parents, locals said.
Locals found her body hanging from the branch of a tree around 6am and informed local Joshora Union Parishad chairman Tariqul Islam Real.
Talking to this correspondent, the chairman said upon being informed by locals, he rushed to the spot and found Taqmia's body hanging, but with her feet on the ground.
Her dress was partially torn off and her phone was found beside the spot, said the chairman.
On information, police recovered the body yesterday noon and sent it to Mymensingh Medical College morgue for autopsy, said Anukul Chandra Sarker, officer-in-charge of Gafargaon Police Station.
"We can confirm whether it's a suicide or a murder after getting the autopsy reports," said the OC. No case was lodged in this connection till filing of this report.
