Mortified, she kills herself
A college girl in Naogaon has taken her own life, after her ex-boyfriend circulated some of her intimate photos with him.
Police and locals said the 18-year-old took poison on Tuesday, failing to stand the humiliation by her neighbours.
Her former boyfriend Hiren Chandra Mandal Rocky, 22, sent out some of their private photos through cell phones after their relations ended.
On Tuesday, some people were watching those pictures on their phones at a shop while she was returning home from college.
“As she was crossing the shop, they started to tease her, saying: 'This is the girl, this is the girl,'” said Saiful Islam, officer-in-charge of Mohadevpur Police Station.
Returning home, she took poison in her room around 12:30pm.
Her family first took her to Mohadevpur Upazila Health Complex and later to Naogaon Sadar Hospital. As her condition did not improve, she was being shifted to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital when she died around 5:00am yesterday.
Rocky of Bindarampur village in Mohadevpur upazila went into hiding following the incident.
The girl's father filed a case against the boy with Mohadevpur Police Station yesterday.
The Daily Star has kept from identifying the girl and her family, given the social stigma associated with the incident.
