| Hasan Sayeed Sumon |
Hasan Sayeed Sumon, who allegedly tortured and blinded his wife Rumana Manzur, a Dhaka University teacher, was found dead in his prison cell at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Monday morning.
Police said Sumon's body was found in the bathroom of the prison cell around 6:00am.
Talking to The Daily Star, Officer-in-Charge of Shahbagh Police Station Rezaul Karim could not say immediately whether it was an incident of suicide.
The body will be taken to Dhaka Medical College morgue for autopsy, the police officer added.
Sumon was arrested from his relative's house in the capital's Mugda area on June 15 following a case filed against him with Dhanmondi Police Station on June 6.
Earlier, Rumana -- an assistant professor of the International Relations department of Dhaka University -- alleged that Sumon tortured her at her parents’ house in Dhanmondi on June 5.
According to Rumana, her husband used to frequently assault her during their 10-year conjugal life.
