Dhaka, June 19 (bdnews24.com) ? Hassan Syed, the husband of tormented Dhaka University teacher Rumana Monzur, will be grilled after she returns from India on Tuesday, a senior officer of the Detective Branch (DB) of police has said.

"Rumana will return on Tuesday. Syed will be quizzed after that," DB deputy commissioner Monirul Islam told bdnews24.com on Sunday.

"Though Syed admitted to the attack, we'll speak to Rumana about when and how he attacked her. The entire incident will be matched after speaking to her," he said.

The detective said Syed, who claimed to have passed out from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), had not completed his studies in the university.

"He stopped studying after completing his third year in electrical engineering department. We'll check how true his claim that he stopped studying for weakening eyesight is," he said.

"It was understood during the remand that Syed had been suffering from inferiority complex," Islam added.
