The deceased was identified as Jahanara Begum alias Jannat, 30, wife of Khabir Uddin.

The couple lived at Kawla in Dakkhin Khan.

Police recovered the body from an empty plot at Bonorupa Residential Project at Khilkhet at around 12:30pm and sent it to Dhaka Medical College Morgue for autopsy.

Morgue sources found marks of injury on Jannat's head, which they said, were caused by hard objects.

Jannat's maternal aunt Rizia Khatun alleged that she was murdered by her husband Khabir.

She said Jannat went missing since Tuesday when she left home at around 7:30pm to do her night duty at a garment factory on Kuril Bishaw Road.

Khabir, who also left the house with her, had been missing since then, said Rizia.

A murder case was filed with Khilkhet Police Station accusing Khabir.
