An 8-year-old has been found dead in Brahmanbaria two days after she went missing.
Police on Wednesday (May 2) recovered the body of Riya Akhtar from a septic tank of a neighbour’s home.
The incident has been reported from the district’s Nasirnagar Upazila.
“An investigation was launched after one Abdul Aziz filed a missing report on Monday evening over his niece,” local police OC Abu Zafar told Bangla Tribune.
On Wednesday, reports came in of a body in the septic tank of neighbour Shah Alam’s home, said the police officer.
He, however, said the cause of death is yet to be confirmed and that it was too early to say whether it was a case of homicide.
Alam will be questioned over the matter, said OC Zafar adding the body has been sent for an autopsy at the state-run hospital in Brahmanbaria town.
