Dead siblings in capital identified as Maya Hazarika's sons

Police identified the two siblings, whose bodies were recovered from a house in the capital's Joar Sahara on Saturday, as the sons of late Bangladeshi film actress Maya Hazarika.
Police recovered the passport, prescriptions and other documents of Maya from the tin-shed house where Javed, 55, and his brother Jamshed, 50, lived as tenants.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Joar Sahara Police Station Ziauzzaman said they found two passports at the house, one belonging to Maya and the other belonging to Jamshed.
“In Maya's passport, her husband's name is written as Sirajul Islam while, in Jamshed's passport, his father's name is also written as Sirajul Islam. That is why we think that the duo were the sons of Sirajul and Maya,” he said.
Quoting locals, the OC said, the siblings had been living in the house for two and a half years and both of them were suffering from mental problems.
“Locals said the two brothers didn't interact with neighbours that much and regularly quarrelled among themselves. No visitors came to their house,” he said.
Jamshed worked at a buying house while Javed stayed in the house, he added.
Visiting the address at Boro Maghbazar in the capital that was mentioned on the two passports, police did not find anyone who knew the siblings.
“Locals, however, said they knew Maya who collected money from the area during her illness in 1996,” said Inspector of Joar Sahara Police Station.Kripa Sindhu Bala.
A building was under-construction at the address, he said.
Morgue sources said Jamshed was strangulated to death while Javed was poisoned first and hanged later.
