The stalker who compelled a schoolgirl to commit suicide was sent to jail on Friday.
Srinagar police chief Shakhawat Hossain said ‘Jahangir’ was produced before the District’s Judicial Magistrate’s Court on Friday, when the judge set Monday for the next hearing and sent him to jail.
Tenth grade student Hasna Rahman Synthia committed suicide on Wednesday after being vexed by repeated stalking.
Her father filed a case with Srinagar Police Station accusing Jahangir, his brother Jakir Sheikh and father Jamal Sheikh of instigating the suicide.
Locals held Jahangir and handed over to police after the incident. The two others are yet to be arrested.
Investigation officer sub-inspector Aminul Islam said Synthia committed suicide fearing that Jahangir might physically harass her.
Police superintendent Shafiqul Islam told bdnews24.com that the matter was under special attention. “Such an incident is unfortunate since there was a committee at the school to address harassment.”
Students of the school and locals will form a human chain on Saturday demanding punishment to the stalker.
