Earlier on Tuesday, a Dhaka court imposed a travel ban on Anvir barring him from leaving the country following the filing of the case.
The college student - Mosarat Jahan Munia - was found hanging in a flat in Dhaka's Gulshan area on Monday evening. The victim's sister filed the case with the Gulshan police station under Section 306 of the Penal Code later at night.
Earlier today, quoting the primary information of the physicians who conducted her autopsy, police said that Munia committed suicide.
