A 40-year-old businessman was brutally murdered inside his residence in Goalanda, Rajbari, on Saturday, prompting an extensive investigation by local police and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
The victim, identified as Faruk Sheikh, was found dead at his home in the Jamtala Bazar area around 2:00 p.m. local time. Police officials stated that the body bore signs of severe trauma, including deep gashes from sharp weapons on his chest and face. In a gruesome display of violence, the victim’s left wrist and right elbow had been severed from his body and were discovered on the floor of the room.
According to family members, Faruk Sheikh, who operated a tea shop in the Daulatdia East Para area, had returned home at approximately 6:00 a.m. Saturday after working the previous night.
