A man accused of killing journalist Ilias Hossain in Narayanganj has died by what prison authorities say suicide in jail. Tushar, the key suspect in the case, was arrested after Ilias was hacked to death in Bandar Upazila on Oct 11, 2020. Mokammel said Tushar had been worried as his family failed to secure bail for him despite several attempts. “He might have died by suicide from frustration over failure to get bail, or fear of punishment in trial,” Mokammel said. Golam Mostafa, chief of Bandar Police Station, said they handed the body to Tushar’s family on Wednesday afternoon after a post-mortem examination.
