Fardin committed suicide from frustration: DB chief Harun
BUET student Fardin Nur Parash committed suicide by jumping into the river from frustration for money, said chief of the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Harun-or-Rashid.
Fardin was an introvert and couldn't share anything with anyone, Harun said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Though he obtained 3.15 out of CGPA 4 in the first semester, it gradually declined to 2.67 but his family members or relatives didn't know the poorer results, he said.
The DB chief went on to say that he needed around Tk 60,00 to go to Spain to attend a debate competition and was struggling to collect the money.
His friends gave him Tk 40,000 but he, later, committed suicide being mentally depressed, he added.
Harun also said Fardin would pay all money from his four private tuitions to meet his and his two younger brothers' study expenses.
He wanted to reside in university dormitory but his family didn't allow it. That is why he was stressed, the DB chief said.
Earlier today, Additional Deputy Commissioner of DB (Motijheel Division) Shahidur Rahman Ripon told Jago News that the death of Fardin was apparently a suicide.
He said, "It appears to be a suicide for now. We've talked to the doctor conducting autopsy and seen the post-mortem report. Overall, it appears to be a suicide."
But the ADC declined to say anything immediately about why the BUET student might have committed suicide.
Fardin Nur Parash, 24, a third-year student of the Civil Engineering department of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, went missing on November 5.
On the same day, his father Kazi Nuruddin Rana, a resident of Noyamati area in Fatulla of Narayanganj, filed a general diary with Rampura Station in Dhaka about his missing.
On November 7, naval police recovered his body from Shitalakhya river in Narayanganj.
Later, Kazi Nuruddin lodged a case against Bushra and some unnamed people with the same police station accusing them of killing Fardin and covering up his body.
