Police recovered the body of a 13-year-old boy from a lake in a residential area of Khulna on Thursday morning. The victim, identified as Soaib, was a student at the Boyra Fazlul Ulum Bahumukhi Hafizia Madrasa and the son of Hasib Miah, a resident of the Sonadanga area.
According to Helal Uddin, officer-in-charge of Harintana Police Station, the discovery was made in the KDA Mayur residential area after locals spotted the body floating in the lake.
