Police recovered the body of a trader from Sabujbagh in the city yesterday, a day after the victim went missing. Deceased is Al-Amin, 32, of Merul Badda. His body was found stashed in a sack on a Baganbari road in Sabujbagh yesterday morning. Rafiqul Islam, brother-in-law of the victim, said Al-Amin went out of his Merul Badda residence Tuesday morning, and around 2:00pm an unknown person made a call from Al-Amin's cellphone to his wife Lovely Begum saying that Al-Amin was seriously injured in an accident. "The unknown caller had also asked for the password of Al-Amin's ATM card saying that money was needed immediately for his treatment", said Rafiqul. "After Lovely gave him the password, the cell phone went switched-off". Rafiqul said they were yet to ascertain the cause for the killing. Lovely Begum filed a General Diary (GD) with Sabujbagh Police Station Tuesday night. Sabujbagh Officer-in-charge Mohammad Asaduzzaman said they are trying to identify the killers.
