A Life Cut Short
Regina, originally from the Sapahar Upazila of Naogaon district and the daughter of Idris Ali, had been residing in Rajshahi as the foster daughter of a local resident. According to police records, her formal education concluded after the ninth grade. Authorities have further indicated that the young woman had recently struggled with substance abuse, a factor that likely exacerbated her emotional vulnerability.
A Digital Trail of Despair
In the hours leading up to her death, Regina’s Facebook profile became a digital diary of her deteriorating mental state. Approximately four hours before the incident, she posted a poignant message that read:
“Today is my final day; may Allah forgive me. I do not know if I shall go to Heaven or Hell. There is no happiness for me in this world. Allah Hafez, dear friends.”
Two hours later, she followed this with a short, chilling note: “Farewell to this beautiful world.” Her final post before the live broadcast was a photograph of a handwritten note addressed to an alleged lover, containing the words “I love you” and “I miss you.”
The Catalyst: A Distant Romance
Local sources and police investigations suggest that the primary catalyst for Regina’s distress was a tumultuous long-distance romantic involvement with a young man residing in India. The relationship had reportedly hit a rough patch, leading to significant psychological instability.
