Three unidentified bodies were found in the Naf river in Cox's Bazar's Teknaf upazila yesterday, said police.

Teknaf Police Station Inspector (Investigation) Abdul Alim said the bodies of two children and a woman were recovered from the river near Hnila Union around 12:30pm.

Police are trying to confirm the identities of the victims, he said.

The police official said the locals informed the law enforcers about the bodies after they saw them floating. He said the victims could be Rohingyas and they might have drowned while crossing the river.

The bodies were sent to Cox's Bazar District Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy, Alim added.
