Body Found in Police Barracks

Suspect constable 'confesses' killing

Staff Correspondent
Law enforcers yesterday arrested a police constable at the traffic police barracks in the capital's Paltan for allegedly killing his friend.
Cops recovered the beheaded body of the victim on the roof of the barracks on Tuesday. Victim's family members identified the body to be of Nannu Munshi, 42, at Dhaka Medical College morgue yesterday.
The arrestee is Mohammad Shawkat Hossain, 39, a resident of the barracks, said police sources.
A driver in Public Order Management of police, Shawkat was suspended a few days ago following an allegation from his wife.
Following information extracted from Shawkat, law enforcers recovered the severed head of Nannu from a pond at Rajarbagh Police Lines around 4:30pm yesterday, said Ashrafiizzaman, deputy commissioner (Motijheel) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).
Shawkat confessed to killing Nannu by stabbing him repeatedly on the roof of the barracks beside the Paltan Police Station on Monday night, added the DMP official. Shawkat then severed Nannu s head from his body and dumped it in the pond.
A quack by profession, Nannu was from Jhikargachha upazila of Jessore.
He left Jessore on Sunday night to meet Shawkat.
Victim's brother-in-law Jainal Abedin said Nannu was a friend of Shawkat.
"Around 1:00pm on Monday, Nannu informed me over the phone that he was in Dhaka to meet Shawkat," he added.
"Nannu’s phone had been switched off since 3:00pm on that day. Seeing the beheaded body with navy blue trousers on the television, Nannu's daughter Tumpa first suspected that it might be her father," mentioned Jainal.
Meanwhile, a three-member committee made up of the joint commissioner (Traffic), DC (Motijheel) of the DMP and an assistant commissioner of the Detective Branch of police has been formed to probe the killing, said DB Joint Commissioner Monirul Islam.
Law enforcers suspect that Nannu might have been killed over a family feud or a financial row.
Paltan police said an autopsy will be carried out on the body at Dhaka Medical College morgue today. Police on Tuesday night lodged a murder case with Paltan Police Station in this connection.
