The hanging body of a female journalist was found at her residence in Dhaka's Sobhanbagh.
The deceased was identified as Sornomoye Biswas, 28, a junior graphics designer at the newly launched online news outlet Dhaka Stream.
According to reports, her body was found on Saturday evening.
Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Imaul Haque told Prothom Alo that the woman’s family members broke open the door and took her to a private hospital. Police later recovered the body from the hospital and prepared an inquest report.
The cause of death will be determined after the post-mortem examination. Her family has not yet filed any complaint with the police, he added.
On Sunday, Dhaka Stream issued a statement in response to social media allegations, saying there was no connection between Sornomoye’s death and the sexual harassment complaint she and her colleagues had filed last July.
