A college student named Tisha Sarker, aged 18, died by suicide in Mymensingh just hours before her Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination was scheduled to begin. The incident occurred around 6 a.m. on Thursday, July 2, 2026, when she jumped from the roof of a six-story building at Nasa Tower on Kachijhuli Mosque Road. Locals rescued her in critical condition and took her to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared her dead. Police from Kotwali Model Station later recovered the body.

According to police and local sources, Tisha was a student of Alomgir Monsur (Mintu) Memorial College and had been living in a female students’ hostel at Nasa Tower for the past two years. She was the daughter of Uttam Sarker and Moni Sarker from Tarakanda upazila in Mymensingh district.

Additional Superintendent of Police (Crime and Operation) Ashraful Karim said investigators are examining whether exam-related stress or other factors led to the suicide. The body has been sent for autopsy, and legal procedures are ongoing. The victim’s family has not yet provided any statement.
