Dhaka (Bangladesh) – The body of a Jagannath University student was recovered from a mess in Bhati Khana area of Old Dhaka on Sunday night. The deceased was identified as Akash Sarkar, a student of the Department of Theatre at Jagannath University. He was from Faridpur district. While the police, in their preliminary investigation, have stated that it appears to be a case of suicide, the incident is being viewed seriously in the backdrop of the continuous atrocities against Hindus in the country.

The Police said that the door of Akash’s room was locked from the inside. After repeated knocking and receiving no response, the door was broken open, and Akash’s body was found hanging from the ceiling fan.
