The victim was identified as Papia, 22, wife of expatriate Liton Chowkidar of the village.

Deceased’s family members said Papia, daughter of Bhavatos Gannito of Gosairhat upazila, married Dubai expatriate Liton Chowkidar of Damudya upazila around three years back. Liton is now in Dubai.

They have a two-year-old daughter. The family members used to torture Papia physically after marriage, they alleged.   

Father Bhabotos Gannito said he came to know from a neighbour over aphone call--“if I want to see my girl, then come to Shariatpur Sadar Hospital as her girl was admitted there with a critical condition.”

On information, “I rushed to the hospital and found my girl in the morgue. The family members of her father-in-law have tortured to death, my girl. I want the capital punishment of the murder,” he demanded.

Dr Tofail Ahmed, duty doctor of Shariatpur Sadar Hospital, said Papia was taken to hospital as a dh condition.

Being informed, police rushed in and sent the body to hospital morgue for autopsy, the doctor added.

Nazrul Islam, officer-in-charge of Damudya Police Station, said the mystery of the death would be clear after having autopsy report.

Primarily, it is assumed that the girl might have killed after pouring poison. No hurt spot found in victim’s body.

Victim’s family informed that they would file complainant, the OC added.
