A young maid was found dead beside NAM Garden in the capital’s Kafrul yesterday.
Jonia, 15, worked at the house of Ahsan Habib, chairman and director of the National Freedom Fighters’ Council, said Kafrul police station Sub-Inspector Kamruzzaman.
He said Jonia’s sandals were found on the roof of the house.
“Her death is mysterious. She either fell off the roof accidentally or someone pushed her. We detained the security guard and the lift operator of the house for questioning,” said SI Kamruzzaman.
In the inquest report, police mentioned that there was blood in Jonia’s right hand and nose, and black spots on the knees and under the breasts.
Police sent the body for autopsy at Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue.
Jonia’s employer Habib said police would investigate how she died.
Jonia hailed from Kishoreganj and her father, Osman Gani, is a rickshaw-puller. Among five sisters and one brother, Jonia was the second.
Her uncle Sohel said he went to the hospital after he was informed of her death.
“I have no idea how she died,” he added.
