Bangladesh police have reopened the investigation into the death of Raudha Athif, a 21-year-old Maldivian medical student who was found hanged in her room at Islami Bank Medical College in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, last March, reports local media.
The case was reopened under a court warrant for the fifth time on December 23, according to Bangladesh newspaper The Daily Star .
The investigation comes after Bangladesh police concluded in August that Athif had committed suicide.
Athif’s father Mohamed, who is also a doctor, has rejected all reports confirming the death as suicide, noting there were finger marks on her neck. He submitted a no-confidence motion into the CID’s final report in late November.
