Police recovered the body of an unidentified boy stuffed inside a bag abandoned in a bus in the capital's Kakoli yesterday.

The boy, about six-years-old, is suspected to have been strangled, said police and Dhaka Medical College morgue sources.

Police seized bus, Desh Bangla Paribahan, and detained its driver and helper for questioning, said Bhuiyan Mahbub Hasan, officer-in-charge of Banani Police Station.

The bus was heading towards Savar from Uttara via Gabtoli, said the OC, quoting the driver.

When it reached Kakoli intersection about three people got down from the bus leaving the bag, he said.

Seeing the abandoned bag, the other passengers panicked thinking the bag might contain explosives and informed police. Police opened the bag and found the boy's naked body.
