Authorities in Lakshmipur exhumed the body of Shahadat Hossain Porash, a former vice president of the district Krishak Dal, nearly 14 months after his burial. The exhumation took place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at the family graveyard in Terbeki area under Lakshmipur municipality, following a court order for post-mortem examination related to an ongoing case. Executive Magistrate Hasan Muhammad Nahid Sheikh Suman and medical officer Arman Hossain were present during the process.

According to officials, Porash had died on March 7, 2025, in the Mostannagar area of Jorarganj, Chattogram, and was buried the next day without an autopsy. His wife, Shefali Begum Shepu, later filed a criminal complaint on April 9, 2025, at the Chattogram Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, alleging that her husband had been murdered. The court subsequently ordered the exhumation for forensic examination.

Shefali Begum claimed that Porash, who had recently returned from Oman, was carrying about 1 million taka to buy an excavator when he went missing and was later reported dead in a road accident. She alleged that the money was misappropriated and accused a man named Mohon of involvement in the killing.
