The body of an unidentified woman in her early 20s, bearing multiple gunshot wounds, was found on the Dhaka-Mawa highway this morning (30 November).
Police found the body on the highway's Sreenagar-Dogachi service road at around 8am after locals informed them. Confirming the matter, Sreenagar police Officer-in-Charge (OC) Kaiyum Uddin Chowdhury said they also found five bullet shells near the body, suggesting she was shot dead by unidentified assailants there.
Some locals said the woman was seen walking on that service road with a young man at dawn. They said pedestrians discovered her bullet-ridden body lying on the highway about an hour and a half later. However, no further details regarding her death could be known immediately, said police.
"The body will be recovered after senior police officials and officials of the Police Bureau of Investigation arrive. We have started collecting the footage of nearby CCTV cameras in the area to figure out what happened," said OC Kaiyum.
