Madaripur District, Bangladesh

A 22-year-old policewoman, Trishna B., was found hanging at the local police barracks. She had joined the force in November 2023, but according to her family, after a few days of service she started to suffer from mental health problems.

Trishna's mother confirmed sending her daughter to a psychiatrist in Dhaka as she had a "lingering sense of fear". The family have also demanded a full investigation into her death.

Hours before her death, she called her brother and spoke of a “big conspiracy” against her, pleading for help.

Her grandfather, accused Patuakhali Superintendent of Police (SP) Md. Anowar Zahid of tampering with evidence, stating, “Photos of her hanging body were deleted from my phone by the SP.

We suspect her mobile contains critical evidence about the conspiracy. My granddaughter was murdered. But where will we get justice in a country where justice itself is dead?”

SP Zahid denied these claims, asserting, “I didn’t delete any photos. She committed suicide.”

The family has categorically rejected the police account, emphasizing Trishna’s optimism, strength, and dedication to her duties.

They argue that she was not suicidal and demand an independent investigation to uncover the truth.

Trishna’s case is not a lone tragedy but part of a relentless pattern of violence targeting law enforcement officials in Bangladesh recently.

On January 9, Officer-in-Charge (OC) Al-Amin was found hanging from a window in his room at the Jajira Police Station in Shariatpur.

The circumstances surrounding his death remain murky, with the open door to his room raising questions of potential misconduct.

On the same day, Sub-Inspector (SI) Shafiqul Islam, 48, was savagely attacked and left to die by unknown assailants in Durgapur, Netrokona, succumbing to his injuries hours later.

These devastating incidents paint a picture of a country in utter collapse—one where even those sworn to protect its citizens are at risk of violence, conspiracy, and death.

They live at the police station too? Is that her bed. I'd hang myself if I had to live in those conditions with nothing but a sheet separating me from the next person's farts at night

Newsflash: everyone suffers from mental health problems. This is why the world’s so fucked up

guy I know is a cop. A new hire blew her brains out with her duty .45 auto in the locker room after her first ever shift as a cop. He had to clean it up and couldn't believe what .45 auto does to a head. it's a fucked job, perhaps cops should start as bouncers first to see if they like getting into fights and getting sued. Are lady cop suicides a thing like cement mixer accidents?

I suppose it’s one way to fix your problems. It does depend on who’s doing to fixing though.

Wouldn't have been easier to just quit and get a job in a supermarket or something?
