Four persons, including two women, reportedly committed suicide in different parts of the city Sunday night and early yesterday.
The dead were Sarjina Sattar Rinti, 30, a homemaker; garment worker Sukla Baroi alias Ripa, 18, Morsalin Sheikh, 18, a day labourer, and medical technician Sajedur Rahman Khokan, 47.
Housewife Rinti hanged from the ceiling at her father’s Phulbaria residence under Turag Police Station around 1:30am yesterday.
Police said a feud with her parents might have triggered the suicide.
Ripa Baroi hanged herself at her South Madartek house at about 10:00pm on Sunday. She used to work at a factory in Malibagh area.
Morsalin committed suicide by hanging himself at his rented house on road No 4 of Dhaka Udyan under Mohammadpur Police Station.
Police quoted his family members saying he had been sick for long and committed suicide out of frustration over his illness. Police said a quarrel with wife Ferdousi Yasmin Shoma yesterday might have led Khokan, resident of Kaola Paschimpara, to hang himself at his residence.
