Later, police found involvement of classmate Amman Siddiqui and Deen Islam in Abantika’s death.

D. Mohid Uddin, Additional commissioner (crime and ops) disclosed the matter at a press briefing organised at DMP media centre in the capital.

A case was earlier filed by Abantika’s mother against the two detainees with Cumilla’s Kotowali police station for instigating Abantika to suicide.

Later, Abontika lodged a complaint at JnU Vice Chancellor office, although the matter was settled administratively, it seems that she was mentally disturbed, the officer also added.
