Bangladesh authorities have launched a fresh probe into the death of Maldivian medical student and Vogue model, Raudha Athif.
The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) is investigating the death of Raudha, who was found dead inside her dormitory room at Islami Bank Medical College in Rajshahi on March 29, following a court order, PBI Inspector Alamgir Hossain, who is also investigation officer of the case was quoted by Bangladesh's The Daily Star newspaper.
“I visited the spot of occurrence to find out facts behind the incident,” Hossain added.
Despite Bangladesh police initially ruling her death as suicide, her family had continued to insist that they have facts to support their claim that Raudha was murdered.
The continued claims of foul play had sparked intense speculation over her death.
Two years ago, while experimenting with her pictures on social media she became a sensation in the country as the ‘Maldivian Girl With Aqua Blue Eyes’.
The picture landed her on the cover of Vogue along with five other women from South Asia.
Titled ‘Celebrating Unity In Diversity’ on their ninth anniversary issue, Vouge tried to capture the spirit of bold and beautiful women who are not only embracing their individuality but also inspiring others to do so, and Raudha Athif was one of them.
