The Mohammadpur police arrested a landlord on charge of his alleged involvement in murdering his domestic worker at Tikkapara in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, on Sunday.
The victim is Rukshana Akhter, 15, daughter of rickshaw-puller Nasir Uddin of the area.
The police recovered the hanging body of Rukshana from the second floor of her landlord's house at about 12:30am on Sunday and, later, arrested landlord Mohammad Shah Alam.
The body was sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for post-mortem examination.
Victim's cousin Abul Kalam told New Age that Shah Alam and his wife Jharna Akhter were used to torture Rukshana over trifling matter.
He said that Shah Alam killed his cousin after torturing her.
He also said that Rukshana has been working at Shah Alam's residence from October 2010.
Mohammadpur police sub-inspector Mohammad Kamaruzzaman confirmed that Shah Alam was apprehended following a complaint by Abul Kalam.
Shah Alam, however, told media that Rukshana had committed suicide by hanging herself with a window of his house after a brawl with her mother over returning to her village home in Noakhali.
Mohammad Kamaruzzaman said that they found no injury marks on the victim's body and the post-mortem report, which is expected to be received within a few days, would tell whether it was a murder.
He informed media that the police had filed an unnatural death case as a primary initiative.
