A Dhaka court yesterday sent Dr Sudip Chakroborthy, an associate professor of the Department of Thea-tre and Performance Studies at Dhaka University (DU), to jail in a case filed over the alleged abetment of the suicide of department student Munira Mahjabin Mimo.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ripon Hossain passed the order after rejecting his bail petition.
The investigation officer of the case, Sub-Inspector Kazi Iqbal Hossain of Badda Police Station, ap-pealed to the court to keep the accused in custody.
In the plea, he said primary findings indicate Sudip Chakroborthy’s involvement in the incident, while verification of his identity and address is still underway.
The IO also stated that keeping him in jail is necessary for the sake of a fair investigation.
Police arrested Sudip Chakraborty from Uttar Badda on Sunday after Mimo was found hanging at her residence in the same area.
A note was recovered from the scene, which reportedly mentioned the involvement of the teacher in the incident.
Following the incident, Mimo’s father filed a case against Sudip Chakroborthy, accusing him of abetting his daughter’s suicide.
