Teenager jumps off seven-storey building, dies

A 17-year-old boy killed himself by jumping off the roof of a 7-storey building in the capital's Bangshal area on Monday, police said.
Ariful Islam Rifat, a salesman at Nawabpur market, lived with his parents in Bangshal, reports UNB.
Md Alauddin, sub-inspector (SI) of Bangshal police station said, the matter is being investigated by taking into account the complaints of the victim's family. The body has been kept at the hospital morgue. It was initially reported that he died after jumping, he added.
Victim's parents claimed that they bought a flat from a person named Afzal six years back. But there were no gas, water and electricity connections. Although they got water and gas cylinders a year ago, they were not connected to electricity. Afzal has been delaying since then.
