A patient allegedly committed suicide at Dhaka Medical College Hospital’s burn and plastic surgery unit in the capital early Wednesday.

Deceased’s mother Nurzahan Begun said: “Sokhina was found hung to the grill of a toilet on the fourth floor of the hospital around 2:30am on Wednesday.”
On information, Shahbagh police went to the spot and sent the body to the morgue for autopsy.
