[Dhaka Tribune] A youth attempted suicide in the Sobhanbagh area of Dhaka on Saturday, by setting himself on fire with kerosene in front of his lover.
The 25-year-old Shumon Kumar Pal, a Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) graduate from Daffodil International University, committed the act in front of the Dhaka Dental College Hostel at Dhanmondi around 6pm.
