Barishal college girl ‘commits suicide’ after failing in exam

A college girl has allegedly committed suicide after failing in mathematics examination in Barishal city.

The deceased was identified as Malia Maria Mouli, 17, a resident of the city. She was a student of class XI of Barishal Govt Women’s College.

Mouli hanged herself at her house in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar road on Sunday noon, shortly after she returned home from college, said Azimul Karim, officer-in-charge (OC) of Kotwali Model police station.

She was later rushed to Sher-e-Bangla Medical College and Hospital where doctors declared her dead.

Mouli’s father Mosharef Hossain, also a college teacher, alleged that Mauli did not take any private tuition from math teacher of her college and so she was deliberately given poor marks in the exam.
