Antar Roy Chowdhury

Police recovered the body of a schoolboy from the playground of Jhenidah Government Boys' Pilot High School yesterday morning.
The boy, Antar Roy Chowdhury, 15, was a class X student of Kanchannagar High School in the district town.
Antar used to live at a rented house with his mother Rita Rani, an employee of health and family welfare department, at Banaripara in the town while his father Anukul Karmaker resides in Gangni upazila of Meherpur district to run a business.
Iqbal Bahar Chowdhury, officer in-charge of Jhenidah Sadar Police Station, said Antar went out of their house for Meherpur on Friday morning to visit his father and had been missing since then.
He might have been strangled by his friends who later burnt his face and left the body on the school ground, the OC said, adding that Rita Rani identified the body of her son at the hospital.
Rani said Antar had an expensive mobile set with him and that might be the reason behind the killing.
