Missing college student found dead in Jhenaidah

The body of a college student who went missing four days back was recovered from near a paddy field at Aushia village in Shoilakupa upazila of Jhenaidah last night.

The deceased, Sujon Hossain (20), was the son of Zillur Rahman of the village.

Quoting locals, Jahangir Alam, officer-in-charge of Shailakupa police station, said Sujon came out from his house on Sunday for purchasing fertiliser, but did not return.

Later, Sujon's family lodged a general diary with the Shailakupa police facility.

Police have detained three suspects -- Shakib, Hridoy and Nazmul -- in this connection.

After interrogation, police unearthed the body of Sujon, buried near the paddy field last night.

Police suspected that a group of young men killed him because of previous enmity over sharing money, said the OC.
