Dismembered body found in 7 pieces near N'ganj lake

The discovery of the unidentifies man, aged around 40, was made on Wednesday morning.

Locals discovered the body parts in three black plastic bags near Brahmankhali Lake, located beside Kanchan-Kuril Bypass Road and alerted police around 8 AM, said officer-in-charge (OC) Liaquat Ali of Rupganj Police Station.

Upon reaching the spot, police recovered seven dismembered parts of the man's body, including the head, both arms, part of the torso, internal organs, the left leg, and a severed portion of left thigh.

OC Liaquat Ali said that the initial assessment suggests the victim was murdered two to three days ago. The assailants likely dismembered the body, packed it into the plastic bags, and dumped it by the lake late Tuesday night. 

Efforts are ongoing to identify the victim. A team from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has visited the scene to aid in the investigation. The police are continuing their search for leads and have appealed to public for any information related to the case, added the OC.
