A Dhaka court has set Jan 8 for the submission of the reinvestigation report in the case over the suicide of Aritry Adhikary, a ninth grader at Viqarunnisa Noon School and College. Aritry, 15, died by suicide at home on Dec 3, 2018, a day after the school removed her from an exam over alleged cheating. According to the case dossier, the school authorities “insulted” her parents in her presence and threatened to expel her. The document said the suspect’s “cruel behaviour and unprofessional conduct” instigated Aritry to commit suicide. After closing arguments on Nov 27, 2023, the court first fixed Jan 21, 2024, for the verdict.
