Woman dies after jumping into river

Police recovered the body of a woman from the river Meghna in Munshiganj yesterday a day after she along with her three-year-old son jumped off the Meghna bridge.

Adian, son of Majeda Akter Keya, wife of Mahmudur Rahman Masum of Comilla, was rescued alive by some workers. But they could not save his mother.

Keya left her in-law's house around a year ago as they tortured her for dowry, police said. On the day of the incident, Keya was going to Dhaka from Comilla to inquire about a case filed against her in-laws, police said.
