A girl has allegedly committed suicide after failing in exam in Barishal city.
The deceased was identified as Malia Maria Mouli, 17, a student of class XI of Barishal Govt Women’s College.
On Sunday noon, Mouli hanged herself at her house in Sher-e-Bangla shortly after she returned home from college, said Azimul Karim, officer-in-charge (OC) of Kotwali Model police station.
She was rushed to Sher-e-Bangla Medical College and Hospital and later doctors declared her dead.
Mouli’s father Mosharef Hossain, 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.
Meanwhile, the principal of the college, said, “If we find out about private tuitions by the college teachers, it will be informed to the education ministry.”
“We will investigate the matter if any complaint is lodged by the family,” said the OC.
