A 45-year-old woman attempted suicide inside a Bhola courtroom on Wednesday, drinking poison moments after a judge granted bail to her husband in a case involving dowry demands and bigamy. The incident occurred at the Burhanuddin Upazila Magistrate Court during proceedings for the case filed by the woman, Tara Bhanu, against her husband, Baharuddin.
According to court and local officials, the hearing was scheduled for the formal framing of charges. The court ultimately moved to grant bail to Baharuddin on the condition of a potential reconciliation and further ordered the dismissal of charges against the defendant’s parents, who were co-accused in the case.
