UNB, Joypurhat :
The body of a newlywed woman was recovered from the septic tank of her husband’s village home at Adarshapara under Joypurhat municipality on Friday, 100 days after she had reportedly gone missing.
The victim was identified as Subarna, 22, wife of Palash and daughter of Hannan Sheikh of Mirpur-10 in the capital.
Tania Begum, victim’s elder sister, said Subarna was married off to Palash, also their cousin, a few months ago.
She went missing since her husband and mother-in-law Rahima Begum took her to Joypurhat from Mirpur on January 30, Tania said. Later, Subarna’s family lodged an abduction case with Mirpur Police Station against nine people, including Palash and his mother.
Following the case filing, police arrested four of the accused-Rahima, Arman Ali, Bakul and Sheuly. Palash, however, went into hiding.
On the basis of information gleaned from the arrested, a team of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) recovered the body of Subarna from septic tank of her husbands’ house at Adarshapara at noon on Friday, said DMP senior assistant commissioner Mukta Dhar.
