The body of Ishaque Ali Khan Panna, a Chhatra League general secretary, has been officially recovered by police in India's Meghalaya.

Meghalaya police said the decomposing body was found at a betel nut plantation in Dona Bhoi village in the East Jaintia Hills area on Aug 26, according to a report from Indian media outlet NDTV.
The area is 1.5 km from the India- Bangladesh border. Police sources told NDTV that the postmortem report said Panna died because of strangulation -- "the cause of the death is asphyxia caused by throttling".

There were also multiple injuries on the body, including lacerations, abrasions, and bruises "which could indicate a struggle by the victim," the report added.

United News of India, another media outlet, wrote that Panna's family claimed he had nearly US$20 million on him. However, Giri Prasad, chief of East Jaintia Hills District Police, says the body did not have any cash on it.

"We do not have any information on the money. When we recovered the body, the only things in his possession were a Bangladeshi passport and a smartwatch." Panna's body is currently at the Khliehriat Civil Hospital morgue.

"The family members will have to go to the Meghalaya government to get the body and it will be handed over through diplomatic channels," Prasad said, adding that no one has yet contacted the police to claim the body.

A member of Panna's family told UNI that they have already contacted the Bangladesh High Commission in India to bring the body back to Bangladesh.

Although the Meghalaya police reported that Panna's body was recovered on August 26, his nephew Laikuzzaman Talukdar Mintu claimed on August 24 that others who were with his uncle said that he had died from a fall from a hill that morning in Shillong after his foot slipped.

Panna, a resident of Kaukhali Upazila in Pirojpur, was elected as the central general secretary of the Chhatra League in 1994. After the Awami League conference in 2012, he became the joint secretary of the party's central sub-committee.

Panna's wife Irene Parveen Bandhan died of cancer in 2016. Irene was deputy secretary and vice president of Dhaka University Shamsunnahar Hall. The couple has a son.
