The body of a youth, who was allegedly struggling with drug addiction, was found hanging at his residence at Vatikhana in Barisal city Friday.
The youth was identified as Samir Devnath, 31, son of Kalachan Devnath of Lomba Dalan in Vatikhana.
Sub-Inspector Qamruzzaman, second officer of Kawnia police station, said Samir killed himself.
He was married to Moni Devnath of the same area, and was father to two children. Last week, Moni left home and took the children to her father’s house, because of Samir’s drug addiction and torture on family members.
Samir went to his father-in-law’s house on Thursday night and demanded money from his wife to buy drugs, which Moni denied.
Samir later returned to his house, where police recovered his body at 2pm Friday.
The body was sent to Barisal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital for autopsy, after a case of unnatural death was lodged, police sources said.
