Tanvir Rahman, who committed suicide on the Dhaka University campus, was frustrated as he could not secure a government job for some corrupt practices.
Tanvir had shared his frustration with his relatives before his death, reports bdnews24.com quoting family sources.
Family said, Tanvir secured a job at Biman Bangladesh Airlines recently but the appointment procedure was stopped over some corruption allegations.
The 31-year-old was a son of a freedom fighter, but that did not bring him any government job.
“Three days back, Tanvir started working as a merchandiser at a garment factory in Uttara. One of his father’s friends owned the business but Tanvir was not happy with the work,” said his aunt Meherunnesa.
“Tanvir had been trying for government jobs for the last four years. He used to talk about corrupt practices prevailing in the sector and how people bribe their way into government jobs,” she said.
“He was devastated as he could not secure a government job despite being a freedom fighter’s son,” said Tanvir's aunt.
Son of Fasiur Rahman and Kamrunnesa, Tanvir lived with his relatives in the Shewrapara neighbourhood in Dhaka.
A native of Brahmanbaria, Tanvir passed the HSC exam from BAF Shaheen College in 2005 and graduated with a degree in business administration from Darul Ihsan University.
He signed up for MBA courses at the accounting and information system department at Dhaka University in 2014.
His body was found next to a building of the Business Studies Faculty on the DU campus on Saturday.
He was pronounced dead around 9pm after being taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital or DMCH.
Tanvir jumped from the rooftop of the nine-storey building on Saturday, Shahbagh Police Station Inspector Zafar Ali Biswas said.
Citing CCTV footage, a staffer of the faculty, Russel Mia, said: “He broke the stairs to reach the rooftop. He kept his mobile phone and wallet on the rooftop before jumping off.”
“Some sleeping pills were found in his bag,” a teacher of the Business Studies Faculty, said.
Tanvir’s mother took him home a few days back as he was depressed. He returned to Dhaka after finding the merchandising job, according to Meherunnesa.
An unnatural death case has been filed with Shahbagh Police Station.
Tanvir’s family received his body from DMCH and headed to Brahmanbaria on Sunday.
