Insurance staff commits 'suicide'
An office assistant of Far East Islami Life Insurance Co Ltd committed “suicide by jumping” from the 9th floor of a building at Karwan Bazar in the city yesterday, suspect police and his colleagues.
But victim's family members alleged that Nasir's senior officials confined him to the building and pushed him down to death in a planned way.
The victim was identified as Nasir Hawlader, 30, a resident of Maniknagar under Sabujbagh Police Station.
Nasir fell from the floor of 12-storey Bangladesh Steel and Engineering Corporation (BSEC) building around 3:00pm and died instantly. But none saw the incident.
Police and his colleagues suspected that he committed suicide.
Nasir's younger brother Al-Amin told The Daily Star that he had trouble with his senior officers for quite some time. Nasir told his wife Nazma Khanam Ruma over cell phone yesterday noon that he was in great danger.
He said Nasir during his telephone conversation told his wife, “The sirs have kept me confined. You come here and save me.”
Ruma rang a senior colleague and told him that she was going to Nasir's office but on reaching there she found that her husband was lying dead.
Apel Mahmud, senior executive vice president (administration) of the insurance company, denied all the allegations.
OC Mahbubur Rahman of Tejgaon police said Nasir's family made a verbal allegation of killing him but they heard that Nasir plunged to death after incurring loss in the share market.
