The wife of Mustafa Murshed Akash, who allegedly committed suicide after citing her adultery, is among six accused of instigating the Chattogram physician to take his own life, reports bdnews24.com.
Akash's mother Jobeda Khanam started a criminal case against his wife Tanzila Hoque Chowdhury Mitu and the others at the Chandgaon Police Station on Friday afternoon.
The others accused in the case are Mitu's mother Shamim Shelly, father Anisul Hoque Chowdhury, younger sister Sanzila Hoque Chowdhury Alisha, doctor Mahbubul Alam, and one 'Patel', who resides in the US.
Police detained Mitu from a house in the port city on Thursday night after Akash allegedly injected himself with poisonous substance and died in the morning.
She has been shown arrested in relation to the case now, Chandgaon Police Station OC Abul Bashar told the news agency.
"The plaintiff said the accused people pushed doctor Akash to suicide by torturing him mentally," he said citing the case dossier.
Later, police produced Mitu in the court of Chattogram Metropolitan Magistrate Khairul Amin who sent her to jail, said Kazi Shahabuddin Ahmed, an assistant commissioner of the court police.
Earlier in the morning, police said at a media call after questioning Mitu that the couple had got into a physical fight just a few hours before Akash took his life.
"Mitu admitted to some of the things, but evaded some matters," said Chattogram Metropolitan Police Additional Deputy Commissioner Mizanur Rahman.
Akash, 32, was a physician working in the Chattogram Medical College Hospital. Before killing himself, he wrote several posts on Facebook accusing his wife of having affairs.
As "evidence", he provided several photos of Mitu posing with "friends".
