A college student allegedly committed suicide at his house at East Sheikhdi in the city's Jatrabari area yesterday.
The body of Sazzad Hossain Tipu, a B.Com second-year student of Shaheed Suhrawardy College, was found hanging from a bar with a scarf in his bedroom, his elder brother Golam Mostafa said.
The family members broke open the door after they saw through the window the body of Tipu hanging in his room.
Jatrabari police recovered the body at around 2:00pm and sent it to Sir Salimulla Medical College morgue for autopsy.
