In a hotel room, the late director Sohanur Rahman Sohan's daughter was discovered dead. The Daily Observer said that Samia Rahman Sristy's body was found at the Rongdhonu Hotel in Dhaka on Sunday evening (April 7) at a hotel next to Cambrian School in the Jatrabari neighbourhood.
Law enforcement reacted quickly after the crime was reported by the hotel administration, according to SI Sabbir Hossain of the Jatrabari Police Station. When they got to the residential hotel, they discovered 34-year-old Sristy "hanging from the window grill" of room 201.
Sristy reportedly had been living with her husband, Tanim, in Uattara Sector No 3. However, due to a family fallout, she had left home a few days before the incident and she is believed to have checked into the hotel room on Sunday afternoon.
Calls for concern were made by the hotel staff after receiving no response upon delivering the breaking fast meal to her room. A police team arrived at the scene and gained entry into the room, where they discovered Sristy's lifeless body. Following this, the body was transported to the morgue at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Her death comes just months after her father’s death. Sohanur passed away in his sleep on September 13 last year, just a day after her mother’s death.
Sohanur, best known in Dhallywood for directing romantic films, was known for his debut film Biswas Abiswas and Keyamat Theke Keyamat. Other notable films directed by him are Amar Jaan Amar Pran, Poran Jai Jolia Re and Se Amar Mon Kereche. He also served as the principal of the Universal Performing Arts Institute.
