A man named Helon Mia, aged 40, died and another person named Ruman Mia was injured while allegedly stealing a tree at the Srigobindapur tea garden in Kamalganj, Moulvibazar, early Thursday, March 5, 2026. Police reported that a group of five to six people attempted to cut down an Akashmoni tree near a lake beside a playground and temple in the garden. The tree fell into the water, creating a loud noise that alerted night guards, who caught one suspect and took him to the manager. Later, a body was found near a house, and the detained person was released.

Police said the cause of Helon’s death would be confirmed after an autopsy. Preliminary assessment suggested he might have died of cardiac arrest while fleeing, as no injury marks were found. The injured person’s location and treatment details remain unknown. Additional Superintendent of Police Raju Ahmed and other officers visited the scene.

Authorities have sent the body to Moulvibazar General Hospital for post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
