A schoolgirl, whom the principal insulted in classroom, allegedly committed suicide by hanging with ceiling fan in their house at Arapara of Savar in Dhaka district on Saturday afternoon.
The deceased was identified as Sonia Akter Sonali, 16, a student of class X of Child Heaven School at Banpukur, Savar.
But the accused Principal Md Kabul Mia could not be arrested , police said.
SM Kamruzzaman, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Savar Model Police Station, said, “Kabul Mia insulted Sonali and expelled her from the classroom as she did not pay her arrear tuition fees around Tk 3500 only.
Returning to her residence, she told her mother what happened and threatened of committing suicide for humiliation in public place. Finally Sonia committed suicide in her room when the family members were not present.”
The neighbours found the body and transmitted the matter to the police, the police official said.
Police recovered the body and sent it to the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) morgue for an autopsy, the OC said.
Hearing it, the principal fled from the school and the local people sealed the school in anger, the OC said.
“We will take legal action against the principal after fair investigation into the incident,” he said.
