A 28-year-old man named Imran from Cox’s Bazar reportedly took his own life after falling into severe debt caused by online gambling. Police recovered his body from his home in the SM Para area of the municipality’s Ward 5 on Tuesday night. According to local residents, Imran had been addicted to online gambling for a long time and had borrowed money from several people in the community. Relatives said Imran locked himself in his room before the incident, and when he did not respond to repeated calls, family members broke down the door and found him hanging from a ceiling fan. Police confirmed the death and sent the body to Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy. Officer-in-Charge Shomiyuddin of Cox’s Bazar Sadar Model Police Station stated that initial evidence suggests suicide linked to gambling-related debt. Authorities have begun legal procedures, while the incident highlights growing concerns over the rise of online gambling addiction and its social consequences in Bangladesh.
