KALIGANJ, GAZIPUR: Police recovered the bodies of a factory worker and a college student from two separate locations in Kaliganj Upazila of the district, within a span of about 24 hours, on Saturday morning and Friday evening. Police initially suspect both deaths were suicides.

The first victim, Delwar Hossain, 50, son of Abdul Gofur of Panchapukur Village in Nilphamari Sadar Upazila, was found hanging from a tree beside a pond near Shishu Mitali Park in the Baligaon Chowdhury Bari area of Kaliganj on Saturday.

Two separate unnatural death cases have been filed. Police said further details would be known after the autopsy reports.

BAGERHAT: The body of a fisherman Mehedi Hasan, 22, was recovered on Friday afternoon, 24 hours after he fell into the Pashur River in Mongla Upazila of the district, while travelling to the Dublar Char dried-fish processing hub in the Bay of Bengal.

His body became entangled in a fishing net set in a canal near Chila Bazar and was recovered by local residents.

Mehedi Hasan, a resident of Gobindapur Village in Rampal Upazila, fell into the river on Thursday morning, while brushing his teeth aboard a trawler anchored near Sindurtala. He was swept away by the current.

Fire Service divers launched a search operation but failed to locate him on the first day. Mongla River Police later sent officers to the scene after receiving news of the recovery. Following legal formalities, the body was handed over to his family.
