The hanging body of an 18-year-old college student, identified as Tousif Shahriar, has been recovered from a residence in the Banasree area of Rampura in the capital. The deceased was a second-year intermediate student in the Science section at Dhaka College.
According to institutional sources, the student was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) in an unconscious state at approximately 09:30 am today, Saturday (6 June). Upon arrival, the duty doctor at the emergency department examined him and pronounced him dead.
Incident Details and Family Background
Tousif Shahriar was the son of Abdul Jalil, originally hailing from Kuntai village under the Sonatala upazila of Bogura district. He had been residing with his family in a rented apartment within the Banasree area of Rampura, Dhaka.
The mother of the deceased, Shamima Akhter, stated that Tousif was her only son. Describing the tragic event, she noted that the family members were asleep during the early hours of the morning. Upon noticing a total lack of sound or response from Tousif’s room, she entered the premises to investigate. She discovered him hanging from the ceiling fan with a traditional scarf (orna) fastened securely around his neck. Although the family acted swiftly to lower him down and transport him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, medical personnel confirmed that he had expired prior to admission.
Furthermore, his mother explicitly stated that the family remains entirely unaware of the underlying reasons or motives that prompted her son to take such an extreme step.
