A medical student in Barishal has killed himself after citing "excessive academic pressure" as the reason behind his fatal decision.
Sajib Baroi, a student of Sher-e-Bangla Medical College (SBMC) who killed himself by injecting a lethal mixture of drugs into his body, left a note before his death, which says he was tired of fighting with himself.
He was brought to Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital (SBMCH) in a critical condition by his classmates last Thursday night (22 May).
Sajib, who was a third-year student of the 50th batch of the Microbiology Department at SBMC, passed away while undergoing treatment yesterday afternoon (24 May).
According to his classmates, he was stuck while his peers had already passed the MBBS exam and were doing internships, which left him with severe depression.
Before attempting to kill himself, Sajib wrote in a note, "I am tired of constantly fighting with myself. I just want some rest. Please forgive me. I couldn't return the love you gave me."
Suman Halder, a roommate of Sajib, said, "Sajib often fell ill as he was unable to cope with the overwhelming pressure of his studies. He was stuck in the third year, while all his classmates had already started their internships. He had a deep fear of classes and exams.
"As a result, last Thursday night, in a state of depression, he attempted suicide by injecting a mixture of Clonazepam and Fluoxetine into his veins."
His classmates realised what had happened and rushed him to the hospital, where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, said Suman.
Kotwali Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mizanur Rahman could not be contacted over the matter.

An explosion occurred near the main gate of the Barishal Judge Court premises this morning, triggering panic among litigants and the general public.
After the explosion took place around 10:32am with a loud bang, Police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Detective Branch (DB) personnel rushed to the scene and cordoned off the area.
Police collected several pieces of evidence, including shattered glass and fragments of plastic, from the site.
It was not a major explosion, Barishal Metropolitan Police Commissioner Abu Saleh Mohammad Raihan said, adding that police initially suspected that it was a crude bomb blast.
Advocate Taslim Uddin, a member of the Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Forum, told The Barishal Times that they believed "fascists" carried out the blast to create fear among the public and prevent the law minister from making a secluded visit to the court premises on August 16.
Many people moved to safer locations after the explosion. The blast briefly disrupted normal court proceedings, according to our correspondent at the scene.
Court activities resumed after the situation came under control. Additional police have been deployed on the court premises.
