A 24-year-old youth allegedly ended his life by hanging from the ceiling of his house in Chandpur on Tuesday "as he could not go abroad".

The victim has been identified as Imam Hossain, son of Mohammad Ullah of Ahmmedpur village in Hajiganj upazila, reports UNB.

Police said the victim had recently asked his father to arrange some money so that he could pay the same to someone who had promised him an overseas job.

On Tuesday, Imam had an altercation with his father as the latter failed to arrange the money. Later, Imam hanged himself in his room, police said.

On information, police sent the body to Chandpur General Hospital for an autopsy, said officer-in-charge of Hajiganj Police Station.

"Imam had a dream, a dream to go abroad. We believe he took the extreme step as he could not go abroad," said local UP member Firoz Ahmed.
