Shamarukh\\\'s body handed back after re-autopsy

The body of Dr Shamarukh Mahjabin Shama has been handed over to her family after a second autopsy. The body samples collected during the two-hour re-examination will be sent to the CID’s Forensic Chemical Laboratory at Mohakhali in Dhaka. Six samples were taken from the body and five from the grave as well as items used in her burial, Dr Nazmul Huda of the Jessore Medical College Forensic Department said. X-rays were done of her head, chest and abdomen, he said. Authorities handed her body over to her father Nurul Islam at 3:40pm. Her body was dug up from Jessore town’s Karbala graveyard around 10:30am on Thursday in the presence of Executive Magistrate Abdus Salam and the investigating officer of the case, Dhaka Ramna Zone ASP Munshi Ruhul Quddus. The move came ten days after a Dhaka court ordered the exhumation and re-examination of her body following a plea by her father. Shamarukh, 24, was married to Humayun Sultan Shadab, son of ex-Jessore MP Khan Tipu Sultan and Dr Jesmin Ara Begum two years ago. She was declared dead in Dhaka’s Central Hospital after her in-laws brought her to the hospital from Tipu Sultan’s Dhanmondi residence last week, according to a news agency.
