Police in Dhaka have recovered the body of Jannatara Rumi, a leader of the National Citizen Party (NCP), from a privately owned women’s hostel in Jigatola. Authorities are investigating whether her death was a suicide or a homicide. Rumi had filed a general diary (GD) at Dhanmondi Police Station a month earlier, citing death and assault threats from social media accounts linked to activists of the banned Awami League. She reported being targeted for her political activities and expressed fears for her safety.
According to party colleagues, Rumi had been subjected to sustained cyberbullying and threats for nearly two months, which left her psychologically distressed. Despite her GD, police reportedly provided no effective protection. Family members stated that Rumi had been battling depression following two failed marriages and was under psychiatric care. Police confirmed that an unnatural death case has been filed, with the family attributing her death to mental health struggles.
The case has sparked debate over online harassment, political intimidation, and the adequacy of law enforcement response to threats against opposition figures.
