Hanging body of former assistant attorney general recovered from Kalabagan

The hanging body of former assistant attorney general Titus Hillol Rema, 55, has been recovered from a house at Kalabagan in Dhaka.

The body was recovered by the Kalabagan police on Saturday morning.

After legal procedures in the afternoon, the body was sent to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) morgue for an autopsy, said Sub-Inspector (SI) Nandan Kumar Das of Kalabagan police station.

He said that the lawyer's wife had left for work in the morning, leaving their two daughters at home.

Unbeknownst to the family members, the lawyer hung himself with a rope tied to a fan in his room. Later, when the family members discovered it, they informed the police.

According to family members, Titus Hillol Rema had been facing financial difficulties for a long time. It is initially suspected that he took his own life due to despair.

However, an investigation is ongoing to determine if there were any other factors involved in his death.

Hillol's wife and Square Hospital official Anuva Mrong said, "I went to the hospital around 6:30am on Saturday. He was lying down. Two daughters were sleeping in the next room. Around 10:30am, I called my elder daughter and asked her to see her father. At that time, the daughter went and found Hillol hanging from the ceiling fan. When he was rushed to the hospital, the doctor on duty declared him dead."

She said, "Hillol had been depressed for several days due to financial reasons. He used to go to court every day but was uncomfortable because he could not get proper work. But I don't believe that he could commit suicide."

Titus Hillol Rema was the son of the late Livingstone Rema, from Joyramkura village in Haluaghat, Mymensingh district.

He was living at Crescent Road in Kalabagan at the time.
