A young girl died after jumping off a high rise building in Dakshin Banashree area of Dhaka on Wednesday.
Fatema Bhuiyan Putul, 15, was the SSC examinee from Intelligential School next year. She used to live with her family on the 10th floor of a 16-storey building.
Mursheda Khanan, Putul's sister-in-law, said Putul went to the roof of the building in absence of family members in the morning and jumped off it.
As she was critically injured she was rushed to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital where physicians declared her dead.
Mursheda suspects that Putul committed suicide over love affairs. She was the youngest among five sisters and one brother, she said.
Md Bachhu Miah, in-charge of DMCH police outpost, confirmed the incident, saying that the body was kept at the hospital morgue for autopsy.
