BCL leader found dead in Satkhira
Police recovered the body of a local leader of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) in Sadar upazila of Satkhira yesterday.
The body of Sheikh Hasibul Hassan Emon, 25, joint general secretary of Satkhira BCL and a final year honours student at Khulna Commerce College, was recovered by police from inside a shrimp farm at Amtola Beel under Dhulihor union in the upazila, said police.
Police speculated that the assailants might have killed the victim -- son of Skeikh Iqbal Hassan from Sultanpur in Satkhira town -- by strangulation before dumping the corpse in the farm area.
Firoz Hossain Mollah, officer-in-charge of Satkhira Sadar Police Station, said the law enforcers, informed by locals, found the body around 11:00am.
Two individuals named Sheikh Murad Hossain and Sheikh Bakhtiar Rahman from Sultanpur in the town were detained on suspicion of their involvement in the killing, he said, adding that they determined the identity of the victim with the help of a cell phone recovered from his possession.
Tanvir Hossain, president of Satkhira BCL, confirmed Emon's affiliation with the party.
Emon's relatives said he lived in Khulna city and he came home fifteen days ago.
Sheikh Hamidul Islam Rimon, his younger brother, said the last time he spoke with his brother was around 9:30pm on Monday and he was not aware when his brother went out of the house later the same night.
The family found out about the incident around 11:00am the next day when Emon's body was recovered from the shrimp farm, he added.
The victim's body has been handed over to the family members following an autopsy, police said.
