Primary schoolteacher kills self

CHATTOGRAM, June 30 (UNB): A primary schoolteacher took his own life in Chattogram's Karnaphuli upazila on Wednesday after suffering a swift decline in his mental health, police said.
Joy Chatterjee, 52, from Char Patharghata union of the upazila was the headmaster at Charlakhya Government Primary School.
Being deep in debt, living alone, and the death of his mother triggered an immense amount of pressure on the teacher.
"This was not the first time that the headmaster had tried to end his life. He had tried to commit suicide earlier by jumping into the River Karnafuli a few years ago," Md Dulal Mahmud, officer-in-charge of Karnaphuli Police Station, said.
"However, his body was found hanging in his rented flat. Police recovered the body and sent it to the hospital morgue for an autopsy."
