Then the people of the house went and saw that the door was open, Nadia was hanging from the fan but her feet were on the ground. When she was quickly rescued and taken to the hospital, the doctor on duty declared her dead. After the incident, Soel Ahmed went to his in-laws’ house at night and created a huge commotion to take possession of Nadia Begum’s mobile phone. They alleged that Soel Ahmed called Nadia and asked her to open the door. He entered the house with an unknown accomplice and strangled Nadia to death before hanging her from the fan to make it look like suicide.
