Shyamal Das was a resident of Rahimabad area under Amirganj Union of Raipura Upazila. For nearly 10 years, he had been transporting and supplying goods by boat from the Raipura Distributor Point to markets in Alokbali, Bakhernagar and Moradnagar.
According to available information, Shyamal left Monipura Ghat at around 8:00 am on Friday, October 30, accompanied by a boatman’s son, to deliver goods. He was expected to return around noon after completing his deliveries. However, he failed to return at the scheduled time, and his mobile phone was subsequently found switched off.
His family members and acquaintances began searching for him after losing contact. During the search, inconsistencies were reportedly noticed in the statements given by the boatman’s son, prompting questioning. According to the available account, he allegedly admitted that Shyamal had been handed over to several other individuals in the middle of the Meghna River.
There are allegations that Shyamal may have been murdered to steal the money collected from his deliveries. However, the actual motive behind the killing, the identities of those involved and the full circumstances of the incident remain unconfirmed.
No official police statement or detailed investigation findings were available in the information provided.
The recovery of Shyamal’s partially decomposed body has cast a pall of grief over his family and relatives. Those concerned have demanded a proper investigation, identification of everyone involved and the arrest of the perpetrators.
