Quoting the locals, Mohammadpur Police Station’s Sub-Inspector (SI) Jalal Uddin confirmed the matter and said that Laboni hanged herself with the ceiling fan by using apparel (scurf) inside the room when her aunt Jesmin Akter (25) went to a garment factory for work in the Dhaka Uddayan Housing area, Mohammadpur.
