Mystery Shrouds Deaths of Religious and Customs Officials in Bangladesh

Police are investigating whether Nayan Sadhu was murdered or died by suicide after his body was found hanging, while a minority council demands arrests.

  • Nayan Sadhu, a 40-year-old Hindu temple caretaker in Cox's Bazar, was found hanging from a tree three days after he went missing from his home on April 19.
  • Police launched an investigation after Sadhu's wife filed a missing person's report on April 19, with witnesses reporting two unidentified men took him that evening.
  • The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council demanded stern punitive action, with senior member Kajal Debnath stating, "We just cannot understand what could be the motive of killing an ordinary caretaker of a relatively small temple in a remote area."
  • Authorities are also investigating a separate suspicious death in Cumilla, where Customs officer Bullet Bairagi's body was found near a road with police noting the absence of major injury marks.
  • These deaths occur amid rising anxiety in Bangladesh, where a council reported 133 incidents of communal violence between January 1 and March 31 this year.
