Ahmed Ansari Started Taking Brain Medicine

Ahmed Ansari, a resident of Gomtipur, had a five-month-old daughter. Ahmed used to work as a scrap dealer. The birth of his daughter added to Ahmed’s existing stress. Despite this, he continued to focus on his work, but paid little attention to the needs of his daughter and his wife. 

Consequently, Ahmed started driving a rickshaw to earn a living. Additionally, Ahmed began taking brain medicine to cope with his mental stress.

Tragic Turn: Infant Strangled Amidst Husband’s Rush to Hospital

Last night, Ahmed Ansari rushed his wife to the hospital as she complained of abdominal pain. Meanwhile, his wife went for a sonography. In the interim, as the infant began crying, Ahmed attempted to pacify the child by keeping her quiet, but to no avail. 

Subsequently, he took the infant near the rickshaw. Despite his efforts to silence the child inside the rickshaw, the infant continued to cry. In a distressing turn of events, Ahmed inadvertently strangled the infant while attempting to silence her, leading to the tragic demise of the infant.

Upon examination, doctors declared the infant deceased. Subsequently, the police were informed, leading to their prompt arrival at the hospital and the subsequent arrest of Ahmed Ansari.
