Authorities in Bandarban’s Thanchi upazila recovered the body of a missing tourist, Md Iqbal Hossain, 48 hours after he slipped and fell into the Nafakhum waterfall. The 25-year-old, a resident of Demra in Dhaka, had been visiting the remote area with a group of 17 people on Friday when the accident occurred. Local sources said the group entered the restricted waterfall zone without a local guide, violating travel restrictions. Following his disappearance, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), police, fire service personnel, and divers launched a joint rescue operation. The body was recovered around 3:55 pm on Sunday and later handed over to Thanchi police for legal procedures. Officials confirmed that the body would be returned to the victim’s family after necessary formalities. The incident has raised renewed concerns about tourist safety and compliance with travel restrictions in the remote hill district.
