A student of DWF Nursing College apparently committed suicide by hanging herself in the dormitory of the nursing college on Friday night.
The deceased was identified as Lamia Akter Saima, 22, a third-year student of the college and daughter of Shajahan Molla.
Sudip Kumar Nath, a teacher at the college, said that Lamia did not go to the Sher-E Bangla Medical College and Hospital for her internship with her batchmates due to sickness. She was alone in her room.
Other inmates of the hostel found Lamia hanging from the ceiling in her room at around 8 p.m. and rushed her to the hospital, where doctors declared her dead.
“The reason behind the apparent suicide could not be known. We informed her family,” he said.

A police case will be filed over the unusual death, he added.
