Gazipur: A four-member probe committee has been formed to look into incident where a man along with his daughter committed suicide in Sreepur upazila.

The committee formed with Additional DIG of Dhaka Range Mohammad Ali Miah has been asked to submit its report within 5-7 days.

The other members of the probe panel are additional police supers (Dhaka) Sadia Khatun and Aktaruzzaman and additional SP of Gazipur Solaiman Miah.
 Meanwhile, the probe body visited the house of deceased Hazrat Ali on Wednesday.

Earlier, police arrested the main accused of the father-daughter suicide case from Karnapur village in Sreepur upazila on Tuesday night.

Officer-in-charge of Sreepur Police Station Asaduzzaman said police arrested Sahid, 40, a neighbour of the victims and son of Nazir Uddin, at night.

Hazrat, 45, along with his daughter Ayesha Akhter, 8, committed 'suicide' jumping before a moving train near Sreepur Railway Station on Saturday morning after having failed to get justice as a young man attempted to violate his minor daughter and grab his land.

After the 'suicide', Hazrat's wife Halima Begum filed a case with the local police station making Sahid the main accused.

Halima claimed that some of their neighbours, including Sahid, had long been trying to grab the land of Hazrat, and their only child Ayesha was sexually abused by a neighbour barely three months back.

Hazrat informed Goshinga Union Parishad member Abul Hossain about it and he got depressed as the UP member did not take any step, Halima alleged.
