Both the youths had suffered from depression for a long time and eventually committed suicide, according to family sources. Community leaders organised a meeting to discuss the causes and possible measures of preventing youths from becoming susceptible to suicide. Little had been reported about Sabith’s death, but his father Selim Khandaker and mother attended the community meeting on Apr 9. A sombre mood descended on the room when Sabith’s father Selim expressed his agony and sought blessings for his son. The meeting was also told that a newly formed organisation called LIGHT would work on the issue in the Bangladeshi community.
