A female student of Dhaka University has allegedly committed suicide in Ishwardi for forcing her to marry a young man instead of the young man of her choice.

Rumpa Khatun committed suicide at the residence of her elder brother Ripon at Atgharia near Ishwardi on Monday afternoon.

The 25-year-old was the daghter of Farid Uddin Mondol of village Babulchara of Sahapur union under Ishwardi upazila, and also a 4th year student of the Department of English of Dhaka University. She lived at Shamsunnahar Hall.

Rumpa had been staying at her village home in Ishwardi since the coronavirus pandemic.

After postmortem, her body was buried at the graveyard of her village home on Tuesday.

Family sources said Rumpa had a love affair with Raju Islam, a final year diploma student of a polytechnic institute in Dhaka. Raju is the son of Hafizul Islam. Both Rumpa and Raju, hail from the same village.

As talks were going on about Rumpa's marriage recently, she told her parents that she would not marry anyone else except Raju. But, Rumpa's father Farid Mondol couldn't accept it as he had previous enmity with Raju's father Hafizul. At one stage of the family feud, Rumpa left the house and got into her elder brother and Sonali Bank's senior officer Ripon Mondol's Atgharia residence several days ago. She committed suicide there on Monday.

Ishwardi Police Station officer-in-charge (OC) Sheikh Nasir Uddin said an unnatural death case was filed with his police station in this regard.
