A mother allegedly committed suicide with her baby early yesterday by jumping under a running train at Shamsher Nagar Railway Station at Kamalganj upazila in the district.
The deceased were identified as Ruma Begum, 30, wife of Lechu Miah of Rameswarpur village of the upazila and their two-year-old son Raihan.
Ruma threw herself along with her only child under the Dhaka-bound Jayantika Express when the train was crossing Shamsher Nagar Railway Station around 9:30am, said its station master Shahjahan Khan.
Rokeya Begum, Ruma's elder sister claimed her sister had committed suicide following a quarrel with her husband Lechu Miah.
However, Lechu Miah, a mason by profession, denied the allegation, saying his wife was mentally unstable. She was home on Monday but was missing since yesterday morning, he added.
Ratan Kumar Dev, sub-inspector of Srimangal Police Station said the police have sent the bodies to Moulvibazar Sadar Hospital Morgue for post-mortem.
