Labanchora Police Station Officer-in-Charge Touhiduzzaman said, “Upoma was known to be a bit stubborn. Her parents were aware of her suicidal tendencies and deliberately did not install a ceiling fan in her room. However, she used a scarf to hang herself from a fan hook.”
An unnatural death case was filed with the police station in this regard.
The body will be handed over to the family after all legal formalities, he added.
