The Ranitala police have sent the body for autopsy to Lalbagh sub-divisional Hospital. The brothers of the deceased have filed a written complaint at Ranitala police station. The police have started an investigation to determine whether this is a case of murder or suicide. The deceased’s brother, Ruhul Sheikh, said, “For a long time, my sister had been in a dispute with her third son Tarikul Islam, over property. Tarikul was forcing her to transfer the property to his name, but my sister was opposed to it. Because of this, Tarikul threatened her in front of us. And then my sister’s hanging body was found. Tarikul has killed my sister. We have lodged a complaint with the police. We want a proper investigation so that the truth comes out.”
