Ashraf contradicts media reports on Salma

Awami League general secretary and LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam Saturday urged the government to unearth the reason behind Rana Plaza survivor Salma’s reported suicide.
“It’s not correct that financial crisis and lack of treatment compelled Salma to commit suicide as reported in newspapers…the fact needs to be unearthed,” said Syed Ashraf in a statement over the print media reports describing those as ‘incorrect’ and ‘unfounded’.
Salma, 27, a female garment worker who was rescued from the debris of the Rana Plaza several days after its collapse in Savar last year hanged herself at her rented house at Bamnartek under Turag Police Station Friday morning, according to a news agency.
