Authorities have recovered three bodies in separate incidents across Bangladesh, leading to the detention of four suspects in connection with one of the deaths.
In Cumilla's Chauddagram upazila, the body of Rokeya Begum, a beggar, was found in the no-man's land along the India-Bangladesh border. The body has been sent for autopsy following legal procedures.
In Munshiganj's Sirajdikhan upazila, police discovered the body of 60-year-old Awlad Hossain buried eight to ten feet deep under the kitchen floor of a neighbor's house. Hossain had been missing for approximately 50 days. Four suspects have been detained in connection with his death. While they have reportedly confessed during police interrogation, authorities plan to seek a remand to fully ascertain the motive and circumstances, suspecting a property dispute may be involved.
Separately, in Satkhira's Kaliganj upazila, the body of 35-year-old Sanjib Sarkar was found in front of a fish enclosure. His family alleges he had received threats from neighbors and claims he was killed elsewhere before his body was dumped. The body showed injury marks, and an autopsy has been ordered.
