Law enforcement officials in Jhalokathi have recovered the body of 55-year-old Molina Roy from her rented apartment in the T&T area of the city. The grim discovery was made on Friday night.
Molina Roy resided on the ground floor of a building owned by Tapan Haldar on T&T Road. According to police and local sources, the victim's family had left the residence on Friday to participate in a Rathayatra festival in the Bhimruli area of Kirtipasha Union. Upon returning home in the evening, they discovered the main gate of the house open and found the interior furniture in a state of disarray. Inside one of the rooms, they found Molina Roy's body stuffed inside a sack and immediately notified the police.
Preliminary reports indicate that three separate flats within the same building were targeted in a robbery. Local residents suspect that perpetrators entered the premises with the intent to commit theft and subsequently murdered Molina Roy when they encountered resistance.
Following the report, officers from the Jhalokathi Sadar Police Station arrived at the scene to recover the body. The remains have been sent to the Jhalokathi Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy, and investigators have collected various pieces of evidence from the site.
S.M. Bayazid Ibne Akbar, the Additional Superintendent of Police (Sadar Circle) in Jhalokathi, confirmed that police responded promptly to the scene to recover the body and initiate an investigation into the incident.
