Police in Savar recovered the body of Babul, known locally as Kana Babul, a 55-year-old man accused in multiple criminal cases, from his residence in Dilkusha Bagh early Wednesday night. Officers from Savar Model Police Station took the body to the station before sending it for autopsy at Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital in Dhaka.

According to police sources, Babul had recently been released on bail after a long period in custody. Investigators said he locked his room from inside and allegedly took his own life by hanging on Wednesday evening. Neighbors discovered the hanging body around 11 p.m. after breaking open the door and informed the police.

Reliable sources indicated that Babul was accused in numerous cases, including murder, robbery, mugging, and drug-related offenses, such as the killing of a night guard at Razzak Plaza near Savar bus stand.
