The body recovered from a pond at Jhostitoalapara at Surendranath road in Jessore town three days back, has been identified as Abul Quashem, Chairman of Pashapol Union of Chowgacha Upazila on Saturday.
After recovering the body, police sent it to the Jessore General Hospital. As none came to the hospital to receive the body, the Anjuman Mufidul Islam buried it as unclaimed one. His body bore several injury marks.
“He might have been murdered in a preplanned way,” said Ilias Ahmed, Officer-in-Charge, Kotwali Police Station.
He said the body would be exhumed for autopsy.
Later Abul Quashem’s son Shahinur Rahman went to hospital and saw his father picture at the hospital’s register book and identified him.
Abul Quashem had been remaining missing since Wednesday as on that day he came out of his residence to go to Dhaka. But an hour later his cell phone had remained switched off.
