Missing elderly man found dead

Handloom worker's body recovered

An elderly Hindu man was found dead at Mongolgram village in Faridpur upazila of Pabna on Saturday, three days after he went missing on December 28.

The deceased, Anil Kumar, 60, a money lender and son of late Mrinmoy Kumar of the village, was also owner of vast inherited cultivable land.

Quoting deceased's family members, police said Anil, who used to live in Pabna town, went out of his house on December 28, and did not return home.

Local people spotted Anil's decomposed body dumped in an abandoned field on Saturday evening and informed the police, Officer-in-Charge Shariful Islam of Faridpur Police Station, said. The OC said criminals might have killed him over previous enmity.
