Jahan's suicide note: Don't give the father custody of my son

Rajshahi University teacher Akter Jahan, who was found dead in her room on Friday, requested not to give the custody of her son Sowad to his father. In a suicide note found in her room, the assistant professor of mass communication and journalism department, stated: “His father should not be granted the custody of my son Sowad at any cost.” Mentioning that the man had earlier tried to hurt Sowad, the note further reads: “The man, who put a knife on his son's throat, can kill the boy or can compel him to kill himself.” She also wrote: “No one is responsible for my death. I am committing suicide out of physical and emotional stress.” She also made a request of donating her body to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. “Do not send my body to Dhaka. Rather, donate it to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital,” the note adds.
