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.

Bangladesh Premier League's defending champions Fortune Barishal have requested the BPL governing council to reschedule the tournament as they are struggling to prepare for the tournament on short notice.
The league's governing council had recently announced that the upcoming edition of the BPL will consist of only five teams and shall commence from mid-December. Following the announcement, the body also invited Expression of Interest for franchise ownership rights for BPLT20.
"The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has officially opened the process for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from reputed business houses, companies, and entities for the acquisition of Franchise Ownership Rights in the Bangladesh Premier League T20 (BPLT20)," BCB said in a statement on Sunday (October12).
"The rights will be granted for five consecutive editions, [from the] 12th-16th seasons of the tournament," it added.
"The BCB has outlined ten (10) potential franchise regions as follows: Barishal, Chattogram, Cumilla, Dhaka, Khulna, Mymensingh, Noakhali, Rajshahi, Rangpur, and Sylhet.
"As part of a transparent and merit-based process, the BPL Governing Council will consider a minimum of five (5) eligible EOI submissions for the 12th edition of the BPL T20 (2026)," it added.
Since the announcement was made there has been wide-scale speculation that Fortune Barishal will not be part of the tournament, though their owner Mizanur Rahman begs to differ.
"I haven't said that I won't play in the BPL. All I said is that in this short span of time it will be difficult for a team like us to play, and so we wanted them to extend the time. Everyone is calling me and I told them (BCB) that it's too small and it is becoming impossible for a team like us (to prepare for the tournament)," Mizanur told Cricbuzz.
"Even if we have players, we have to organize the funds and the instruments that we need to buy [players], we have to bring them and in this one or one-and-a-half months even if we work for 24 hours we cannot do that. I have requested for a different slot and now let's see what they say.
"I haven't said that we won't play but if the slot is changed in that case we would...because we have always been with the game and we are not out of the game," he said.
"I don't think any good team will be willing to play in this short time and you can even ask Rangpur (Riders), and what I feel is that team that doesn't have the experience will be willing to play.
"I just wanted to buy some time...We can do it in April and May, and what is the problem?! You can give the team (for the next cycle) and give us some time so that we can organize it well. I don't think there is any point in doing it just for the sake of it and I don't think it would be right to do BPL without us," he said.
Mizanur also cleared air about their skipper Tamim Iqbal after the former international announced that all kinds of cricket is being boycotted under the leadership of newly elected BCB president Aminul Islam.
"I don't think there is any such thing (that Tamim won't play in BPL) and I think he said about it (boycotting cricket) regarding normal game," he said. "If the BPL happens I will request him to play and I feel that if Barishal plays he will play."
