Police recovered the body of a 60-year-old local Awami League leader, Dulal Miaji, from a pond in Chandpur’s Hajiganj upazila on Wednesday morning, November 11.
The body was pulled from a pond in Orpur Noapara under No. 4 Kalcho Dakshin union. Dulal was a former member of Ward 8 of Kalcho Dakshin union and served as ward president of the local Awami League, whose party activities are suspended.
His son, Tamim, said Dulal had not been sleeping at home at night in recent days out of fear of arrest. After speaking with Tamim’s mother Tuesday evening and going to rest, he was found dead floating in a pond beside their home on Wednesday morning. Family members said serious injury marks were visible on his head and back, though the cause of death remains unconfirmed.
Additional Superintendent of Police Mukur Chakma said a police team inspected the scene after receiving the report and has launched a preliminary investigation to determine the circumstances.
