Police have recovered the body of a 28-year-old man, with his hands and feet tied, from a tea garden in Moulvibazar’s Kamalganj upazila.
The deceased was identified as Ratan Shuvo Kar, a worker of Champara Tea Garden under Islampur union, said Kamalganj Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Abdul Awal.
Locals spotted the body in the garden around 10:00am and informed authorities.
According to locals, the body bore visible injury marks and was found in a bloodied condition.
A worker of the garden, requesting anonymity, said locals suspect that Ratan may have been killed elsewhere and the body later dumped at the spot.
Some locals speculated about possible links to tomorrow’s election, though no evidence was found in this regard.
Ratan’s elder brother, Laxman Kar, said the family had been searching for him since last night.
“This morning, we were informed that his body was lying in the garden. We went there and identified him. We do not know why he was killed,” he said.
The body was sent to Moulvibazar Sadar Hospital for an autopsy, said the OC, adding that an investigation is underway to identify those involved.
