Authorities in Bangladesh recently recovered the body of Niranjan Chandra Sutradhar, a 50-year-old jewelry shop owner, from a drum found floating near a sluice gate. The discovery was made by local residents who spotted the drum near the Begunbari area.
Upon investigation, police found the body wrapped in cloth inside the drum. A crucial clue, a token from the Mymensingh Hindu Cooperative Credit Union Limited, was discovered in the deceased's pocket. This token facilitated the identification of Niranjan Chandra Sutradhar, who owned a jewelry shop in Mymensingh city.
Niranjan's wife and son identified his body, confirming the police's findings. Initial examination revealed sharp-weapon injuries on his head and chest, leading investigators to suspect foul play. It is believed he was murdered and his body concealed in the drum before being cast into the water.
The motive behind the murder and the perpetrators remain unknown as the investigation continues. No arrests have been made, and a case is being filed by the family. Niranjan had been missing since September 20, but his family initially did not report it due to his prior habit of staying away from home.
