The body of Bangladeshi fisherman Md. Ismail Haque, who went missing while fishing in the Purnobhaba River in Biral, Dinajpur, was returned from India after 19 days. Haque, aged 65, disappeared on April 30 while fishing near Chandamari Puranghat in Kamdevpur village. Despite extensive searches by locals and fire service divers, he could not be found. On May 3, Indian authorities recovered an unidentified body from the Yadabbati Batulpur River ghat under Gangarampur police station, which was later identified as Haque through photos shared on social media.
Following official procedures between Bangladesh and India, and with assistance from the Bangladesh Embassy in Kolkata, the body was repatriated through the Hili checkpoint on Wednesday. After receiving the body, the family held funeral prayers and buried him in the family graveyard. Haque’s eldest son, Haidar Ali, expressed relief after the long wait and thanked the authorities and embassy for their cooperation.
The repatriation marks the end of a cross-border process that involved coordination between local administrations and diplomatic channels.
