Police recovered the body of Jannat Ara Rumi, a 30-year-old political activist known as the 'July Daughter,' from a women’s hostel in Hazaribagh, Dhaka, on Thursday morning. Rumi, who had been active in the 2024 anti-discrimination and anti-government movements, was serving as a joint coordinator for the Dhanmondi unit of the National Citizen Party (NCP). Her sudden and unexplained death has sparked widespread grief in her hometown of Patnitala, Naogaon.
Local leaders and former student movement colleagues described Rumi as a courageous figure who led early demonstrations against the then-ruling Awami League. Friends and associates have demanded a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death, urging authorities to identify and punish anyone found responsible. Rumi, a trained nurse and mother of a four-year-old, had divorced five months earlier and recently relocated to Dhaka for political work.
Police have yet to disclose preliminary findings, while the NCP and local activists are calling for transparency and justice. The incident has reignited discussions on the safety of young women in politics and the need for accountability in politically sensitive deaths.
