PABNA, Mar 27 (Agencies): A Kazakhstan national was killed and another injured at a house in Ishwardi Rooppur Residential Project Green city under Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant project in Pabna district Saturday night.
Police have recovered the body of the Kazakh national who worked on the construction of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant at Ishwardi.
Law enforcers have arrested three Belarusian nationals over the death.
The body was recovered on Saturday from one of the buildings at Green City, which houses foreigners working on the Rooppur project near the Notunhat intersection, said Pabna Additional Police Superintendent Masud Alam.
Police identified the victim as 'Vladimir', but could not give any additional details about his identity.

Police arrested the three Belarusians for interrogation, Masud Alam said.
The Kazakh national had wounds on his body caused by sharp weapons, he said without giving further details.
The victim worked for a company that was sub-contracted on the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant project, said Atiqul Islam, chief of Rooppur Police Outpost.
"Due to the language barrier, we have had trouble understanding their statements," he said, but police are trying to figure out why the man was killed.
