Police have recovered the body of a young garment worker from a lake in Narayanganj's Siddhirganj this morning, two days after he went missing.

Confirming the incident, Shahinur Alom, officer-in-charge of Siddhirganj Police Station, said that after recovering the body from Siddhirganj Lake, it was sent to Narayanganj General Hospital for autopsy.

The deceased was identified as Md Nayan, 20, son of Abdul Halim from Jamalpur. He was living in a rented house in the Dhankunda area of Siddhirganj, and worked at a local garment factory, said police.

Family members said Nayan had left his rented house on Wednesday evening and been missing since.

Locals spotted a body floating in Siddhirganj Lake around 8:00am and informed the police. Police rushed to scene and recovered the body, OC Shahinur said.

"Initially, no injury marks have been found on the body of the deceased. Family members informed us that Nayan suffered from epilepsy. The exact cause of death will be determined after an autopsy," the police official added.

However, the victim's family had requested to receive the body without an autopsy.

"The family has no complaints regarding the death and wants the body to be handed over without an autopsy. Legal procedures regarding this request are underway," said the OC.
