Couple, daughter found dead in Sirajganj flat

Police have recovered the bodies of a couple and their daughter from a flat in Tarash municipality of Sirajganj, report agencies.
The dead are Bikash Sarkar (45), his wife Swarna Sarkar (40) and their 15-year-old daughter Paromita Sarkar Tushi.
The family resided in a three-storey building in Barwari Bottola Moholla, owned by Bikash's family.
Bikash, a businessman, was the younger brother of Awami League's Tarash upazila unit Vice President Prokash Sarkar.
Though Bikash had no post in the local Awami League unit, he was an active supporter of the party.
Quoting neighbours, Prokash said the door of Bikash's flat had remained closed since Sunday morning.
Though relatives have been calling the couple for the past two days, they didn't pick up, he said, adding that he finally went to the flat and found the door shut and received no response from inside despite repeated knocks.
Later, he informed the local thana about the matter. Police found them dead at the flat in the early hours of Tuesday.
Nure Alam, inspector (investigation) of Tarash thana, confirmed the matter, saying that they recovered the bodies from the flat after breaking open the door.
