Police recovered the body of a Malaysian expatriate, Rafiqul Islam Talukdar, 50, from in front of his home in Birahimpur Guchchagram under Koshigari Kachari area of Ghoraghat upazila on Saturday (November 14) night, bearing injury marks on his left eye and signs of strangulation around his neck.

According to the victim's elder brother, Saidul Islam, Rafiqul had returned to Bangladesh about a year and a half ago after spending nine years working in Malaysia. Following his divorce from his wife six months ago, their two daughters went to live with their maternal grandparents, leaving Rafiqul to live alone at home while regularly taking his meals at his brother's house.

On Saturday night, after Rafiqul failed to show up for dinner and did not answer his phone, Saidul went to check on him. Finding the front door open, Saidul searched the surrounding area and a nearby grape orchard before discovering Rafiqul's body lying in front of the doorway. His cries for help brought family members and neighbors running to the scene.

Hakimpur Circle Assistant Superintendent of Police Harez Uddin stated that authorities are investigating the motive and perpetrators behind the incident. The body was recovered from the scene, brought to the police station, and sent to the forensic department of Dinajpur Medical College Hospital on Sunday (November 15) morning for an autopsy as legal procedures are underway.
