RU teacher's death in mystery

Mystery shrouded the death of a Rajshahi University (RU) teacher, who was punished for sexual harassment of a female student, at his in-law's house in Upashohor of the city on Tuesday night.
The deceased, Zulfikarul Amin, a lecturer of the marketing department, used to stay in his father-in-law's residence with his wife Mamtaj Akter Shompa and her family members.
Shompa told The Daily Star that around 12:00midnight on Tuesday, he went out of the house to buy medicine on a bicycle.
At 1:00am, he fell into a drain beside Nahar Academy at Upashohor in an unconscious state. Later, pedestrians rescued him and took him to his in-law's residence, she said.
After 19 hours later around 8:00pm on Tuesday, he was taken to Rajshahi Medical College and Hospital (RMCH) where doctors pronounced him dead.
Locals alleged that members of his father in-law's family did not arrange "proper treatment timely" that led to the death.
"He was not taken to the hospital though he was unconscious on Tuesday. When he died at night, his in-laws took him to RMCH to conceal the incident of death," a teacher of marketing department told The Daily Star requesting anonymity.
His wife said he might have died of "high blood pressure" as he was penalised for sexual harassment of a female student of the department.
"He might have taken a medicine named "Analogue" to recover from the high blood pressure," she added.
Teachers and students of the department termed the death "mysterious."
