A Dhaka court has ordered the imprisonment of Dhaka University professor Sudip Chakraborty in connection with a case alleging his involvement in the suicide of student Munira Mahjabin Mimo. The order was issued on Monday afternoon by Metropolitan Magistrate Ripon Hossain after police presented the arrested teacher before the court. The investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Kazi Iqbal Hossain of Badda Police Station, requested that Sudip be kept in custody until the investigation is complete.

Defense lawyer Ful Mohammad sought bail, claiming the accused was innocent and being harassed, but state prosecutors opposed the plea. After the hearing, the court denied bail and sent Sudip to jail. Police reported that Sudip was detained in Uttara Badda on Sunday based on secret information and that preliminary investigation indicated his involvement in the incident.

Earlier, police recovered Mimo’s hanging body from her home in Uttara Badda, along with a note mentioning Sudip and a financial reference. Following this, Mimo’s father filed a case accusing Sudip of abetment to suicide.
