Drug addict kills self
A youth allegedly took his own life as he did not get money for buying drugs from his parents in Ishwarganj upazila on Sunday night.
The deceased was Kamal Hossain, 26, son of Lal Mia of Sahebnagor village in the upazila.
Quoting family members, Ahmed Kabir Hossain, officer-in-charge of Ishwarganj Police Station, said drug addict Kamal sought money from his father in the afternoon.
As Lal Mia refused to give the money, Kamal chased his father with a vegetable cutter and the latter then fled the scene, said the OC.
Later, Kamal torched one of their dwelling houses and ran away. Neighbours doused the fire.
Kamal returned home in the evening and pressed his mother Halima Khatun for money. As she denied, Kamal entered his room and shut the door.
When Halima called Kamal for taking his meal at night, there was no response from inside of the room.
Hearing the screams of Helima, neighbours rushed to the spot and broke the door open and found Kamal hanging from the ceiling of the room.
On information, police recovered the body and sent it to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital for autopsy.
An unnatural death case was filed with Ishwarganj Police Station.
