Police have recovered the hanging body of a female student from a dormitory in Old Dhaka�s Purana Paltan area. 

The incident took place in the early hours of Sunday at a student residence in Tonuganj Lane, under Sutrapur Police Station. A suicide note was also found at the scene.

The deceased was identified as Sabrina Rahman Shammi, a 17th-batch student from the Department of Sociology at Jagannath University (JnU). 

Sutrapur Police Station officer-in-charge Saiful Islam confirmed the incident.

OC Saiful Islam stated, �Shammi lived alone in a room at the girls' hostel in the area. Her body was found hanging around 4:30 AM. Her roommates, who lived in adjacent rooms, informed the authorities after discovering her.�

The body has been sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy.

Speaking on the matter, JnU Proctor Muhammad Tajammul Haque said, �After receiving the news, we went to the police station around 6:00 AM. It appears to be a case of suicide possibly linked to a romantic relationship. The boyfriend was reportedly present at the scene later.�
