Avantika murder case: classmate, proctor placed on remand

CUMILLA (SOUTH), March 18, 2024 (BSS) - A Cumilla court has placed Amman Siddiqui and Din Islam on a two-day remand in connection with the murder case of Khairuj Abantika, a student of Jagannath University.
 
Senior Judicial Magistrate Abu Bakar Siddique passed the order after a hearing this afternoon.
 
Amman, a classmate of Abantika, was granted a two-day remand instead of five days, while assistant proctor of the university Din Islam, has been remanded for one day instead of a two-day remand.
 
"The interrogation of the two accused will be held at the Kotwali police station," said officer-in-charge (OC) of Cumilla Kotwali police station, Mohammad Feroz Hossain.
Abantika committed suicide by hanging herself with the ceiling at her residence located at Bagichagaon in Cumilla on Friday night.
 
Before hanging herself around 10 pm on Friday, Abantika posted a note on Facebook and blamed the assistant proctor and the fellow student for abetting her suicide.

Abontika's mother Tahmina Shabnam filed a case with Cumilla Kotwali Model Police Station against the duo.
