Police have recovered the body of a young businessman, Md. Naim, 27, nearly 30 hours after he went missing in Sreepur, Gazipur.

His body was found on Thursday morning, June 4, behind a women’s madrasa in the Sheikhghat area of Barkul village under Bormi Union.

Naim was the son of Jamal Uddin of Boro Nol village in Bormi Union. In addition to running a raw materials business, he operated a fish farming project on a leased pond adjacent to his home.

Family members said that at around 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Naim left home carrying a flashlight to check on his fish project. He never returned.

After he went missing, relatives repeatedly tried to contact him on his mobile phone. However, calls were repeatedly disconnected, and eventually the phone was switched off. Despite searching all possible locations, the family was unable to find any trace of him.

On Thursday morning, local residents discovered a body lying behind a women’s madrasa in Barkul village with its hands and feet tied. Police arrived at the scene and recovered the body, which family members later identified as Naim.

Investigators suspect that the perpetrators killed him and then abandoned the body behind bushes after tying his hands and feet.

Humayun Kabir, a sub-inspector of Sreepur Police Station, said, “Based on information from local residents, we recovered the body from the scene. It has been sent to the morgue of Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital for an autopsy. Police have launched an investigation to determine the motive behind the killing and quickly identify those involved.”

The brutal death of the young entrepreneur and businessman has cast a pall of grief over Boro Nol village and the wider Sreepur area.

The victim’s family believes the incident was a premeditated murder. The killing has sparked fear and concern among local residents, who are questioning who was responsible and why the young businessman was targeted in such a manner.
