Police recovered the body of Jannat Ara Rumi, a Dhaka-based leader of the National Citizen Party (NCP), from a women’s hostel in Hazaribagh on Thursday morning. Rumi, who served as joint coordinator of the NCP’s Dhanmondi unit, was reportedly found hanging in her room. Her death has sparked widespread concern and debate over whether she took her own life following prolonged online harassment and threats.
NCP leaders allege that Rumi had filed a general diary with police a month earlier, seeking protection from persistent cyberbullying and death threats, but no action was taken. Party officials, including senior joint convener Samanta Sharmin, accused law enforcement of negligence despite having provided evidence of the alleged perpetrators. Social media reactions have been polarized, with some opposition activists expressing outrage and others making controversial remarks.
Police say an investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of death. The incident has reignited discussions about political harassment, online abuse, and the safety of female activists in Bangladesh’s volatile political climate.
