Police in Rajnagar, Moulvibazar, recovered the buried body of a woman named Zayeda Begum, 31, twenty days after she went missing. The body was found on Monday in the yard of her husband, Alomgir Hossain, in Karimpur village under Munshibazar Union. Police detained Alomgir and three others in connection with the case. During initial questioning, Alomgir admitted to killing his wife and burying her body in an eight-foot-deep pit in their yard.

According to police and local sources, Zayeda, daughter of Abdul Hannan from Sonatiki village, had been married to Alomgir of Karimpur village. Following a family dispute on June 18, Alomgir allegedly killed her and later told relatives and neighbors that she had gone abroad. When Zayeda’s father could not contact her, he filed a general diary with Rajnagar Police Station on July 3. During the investigation, Alomgir revealed the burial site, leading to the recovery of the body in the presence of the district police superintendent and an executive magistrate.

Police said the body was sent to Moulvibazar Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy, and further investigation is underway.
