Lamia, April 27 -- year-old girl and daughter of martyred Jasim Uddin, who was killed in police firing during the July Movement in Dhaka, reportedly died by suicide on Saturday night.

She was found hanging at her rented house on Road-6 in the Sheikhertake area of the capital around 10pm.

Although she was taken to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, physicians declared her dead upon arrival, said Kalam Hawlader, a paternal cousin of the martyred Jasim, over the phone.

Lamia's grandfather, Sobahan Hawlader, said he spoke to her on Saturday morning. "I told her to come to the deputy commissioner's office on Sunday to seek government assistance, as her father is a martyr of the July Movement," he said.
