DU teacher Sudip remanded over student's suicide

Police have been given three days to grill Dhaka University Associate Professor Sudip Chakroborthy in a case filed over the suspected suicide of a student from his department.

Metropolitan Magistrate Manjurul Islam passed the remand order after a hearing on Sunday, said Prosecution Police Sub-Inspector Kamal Hossain.

The case follows the death of Munira Mahjabin Mimo, a 2019-20 session student of the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies.

Mimo was found dead at her family home in Badda on Apr 26.

Police said a note recovered from her room mentioned the teacher. Following the discovery, Mimo's father, Mohammad Golam Mostafa, filed a case accusing the teacher of instigating the death.

The investigating officer, Badda Police Station Sub-Inspector Kazi Iqbal Hossain, initially sought a three-day remand on Apr 28.    �"bdnews24
