A female police officer, Raziya Sultana (28) was found dead at her rented residence in the capital’s Dakshinkhan area on Thursday night, with police suspecting suicide following a domestic dispute.
The deceased was identified as the daughter of Nasir Uddin Bachchu of Nayabari village under Uzirpur upazila in Barishal district.

She was a Police Nayek currently serving at the Armed Police Battalion (APBn) Headquarters.
According to police, a disagreement broke out between the couple on Thursday evening after Raziya damaged her mobile phone. The matter led to a brief argument, after which she reportedly hanged herself inside a room between 9:20 PM and 9:40 PM.

Later, her husband got her and rushed her to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where the on-duty doctors declared her dead.
Dakshinkhan Police Station sub-inspector (SI) Palash Ahmed confirmed the incident and said that the body has been sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) morgue for an autopsy.

Raziya lived in a rented house with her husband, Rajib Mia, a police constable posted on the Bhanga highway in Faridpur. Rajib’s ancestral home is in Zajira upazila of Shariatpur district.

The exact cause behind the incident is yet to be determined and an investigation is underway, added police official.
