Jasmine dies of high blood pressure: post-mortem report in HC
Court of law

The post-mortem report of Sultana Jasmine, who died in RAB custody in Naogaon on March 24, has reached the High Court.

Sultana died due to abnormal high blood pressure, not by torture, according to the report.

The report reached Attorney General's office on Tuesday and a hearing on the reports is scheduled to be held today.

High Court on Monday sought a post-mortem report and ordered to submit the details of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) personnel involved in arresting and interrogating Sultana Jasmine.

RAB picked up Sultana around 10:00am on Wednesday (March 22) when she was on her way to Chandipur Union Land Office in Naogaon where she was an office assistant.

She died at 10am on Friday (March 24) at the Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH).

A day after her detention, she was sued under DSA in Rajshahi "for syphoning off money from job seekers using a Facebook account".

On Saturday (March 25) Jasmine's body was handed to the family.
