Hanging body of Pakistani national found at Banasree apartment

Police recovered the body of a Pakistani national from an apartment in South Banasree area of the capital on Tuesday morning.

The gatekeeper of the house first spotted the hanging body of Mohammad Shahbaz, 26, through the window from outside, and informed the Khilgaon Police Station, said the police station’s Sub-Inspector Jubayer.

Police then reached the spot, broke down the door and brought down the body hanging from the ceiling. The body has been sent to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital for autopsy, Jubayer said.

Initial signs suggest the Pakistani national committed suicide out of frustrations over debt burdens and disagreements with his wife, Jubayer said.

Shahbaz has been living in Bangladesh for a long time and also owned a business in the country.

He hails from Jalalpur in Multan district of Punjab province in Pakistan.
