Police in Shariatpur recovered the body of van driver Monu Bepari, 65, from an old grave in Angaria Union, 25 days after he went missing. The body was found on Monday afternoon, April 20, 2026, in the Madbor Bari area of Char Chatang. Authorities suspect that after the killing, the body was initially hidden and later reburied in a different grave to conceal the crime.

Family members said Monu had been missing for about 25 days, and his sister Minara Begum filed a general diary with Palong Model Police Station on April 13. Suspicion arose when Minara noticed fresh soil on the grave of her cousin, who had died three years earlier, and an unusual pit inside a nearby abandoned house. Police were informed and later discovered Monu’s body inside the old grave.

Relatives alleged that Monu’s second wife, who had a financial dispute with him, orchestrated the murder. Police said the body was recovered under a magistrate’s supervision and that legal procedures were underway.
