Raudha's death: Fan, CC camera footage seized

Staff Correspondent, Rajshahi: The Crime Investigation Department (CID) on Thursday morning seized the fan which was said to be used while committing suicide by Maldivian model Raudha at her dormitory room of Islami Bank Medical College in Rajshahi.

Alongside, CID also seized all footages of the Close Circuit Camera set up at the dormitory.

The CID team also talked to other female students of the dormitory over the matter.

Dr. Nazmul Karim, Superintendent of Police (SP) in Rajshahi, confirmed the news.

He said, "We seized the fan to examine it as it was said that Raudha committed suicide hanging from it."

Raudha Athif, a second-year student of Islami Bank Medical College in Rajshahi, was found dead at her dormitory room on March 29. One of her classmates at the dormitory found her hanging from the ceiling.

The 21-year old, who was featured in the cover of Vogue magazine, was buried at Hetomkhan Graveyard in Rajshahi city on April 1.

Police recorded an unnatural death case filed by the college authority on the day of her death while her father Mohamed Athif, a physician, lodged a murder case with a Rajshahi court accusing a classmate on April 10.

Raudha’s second autopsy is necessary as previous autopsy said she had committed suicide while her father rejected it and claimed that she was murdered.
