The college student is the son of Dulal Mandal of Rautbari village of Gobindasi union of Kader upazila. He was an HSC candidate of science department of Bhuyapur Ibrahim Khan Government College.

According to family sources, Manzoor Quader had a love relationship with a classmate a year ago. Kader is pressured for marriage as the girl is getting married from another place. Unable to tell his parents about his relationship, the boy confides everything to his sister.

Later, Kader's sister asked the girl to be patient over the phone until her brother got a job. But that girl repeatedly pressured Manzoor Quader to marry her. Unable to bear these pressures and unable to marry the girl, he committed suicide on Thursday morning by wrapping a veil and a towel around his neck along with house coriander.

Manjur Quader's sister Sumi said, last Wednesday night my parents slept in one room and my brother Manjur Quader in another room. Father wakes up on Thursday morning and leaves with the van and mother stays asleep. On this occasion my brother got up from his room in the morning and went into the empty room next door and stuck the chain outside with his hand. Later, he committed suicide by twisting the veil and towel around his neck along with the dharna of the house. He also said that my brother had a love affair with a girl. The girl repeatedly pressures him for marriage, saying that if he does not marry her, he will marry her elsewhere. Unable to bear this, he committed suicide in the morning.

In this regard, Bhuyapur Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Ahsan Ullah said that the police were quickly sent to the spot after receiving information from the locals. Later, the body was recovered and sent to Tangail General Hospital morgue for autopsy. He also said, I think, maybe the college student committed suicide out of pride with his parents. After the legal process, the body will be handed over to the relatives. A wrongful death case is under process in this incident.
