Police and fire service personnel recovered the body of a local businessman from a guest house room in the Laxmipur area of Rajshahi city on Monday night.
The deceased, identified as 40-year-old Bulbul Hossain, hailed from Mohanpur Upazila in the Rajshahi district.
Discovery of the Body
According to hotel management, staff members began knocking on the door of Hossain’s room at Al-Noor Guest House Residential-2 around 3:00 pm on Monday. Receiving no response despite repeated calls throughout the afternoon, the management grew concerned and alerted the local authorities.
Responding to the call, teams from the local police station and the Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defence arrived at the scene later that evening. Emergency personnel forced open the locked door of the room, discovering Hossain lying unresponsive on the bed.
Officers subsequently retrieved the body around 9:00 pm and transported it to the Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH) morgue for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
Initial Police Findings and Background
Investigators noted that Hossain frequently visited Rajshahi city for commercial purposes and routinely checked into local hotels during his business trips.
Sajjad Hossain, Sub-Inspector (SI) of Rajputra Police Station, stated that initial physical evidence suggests natural causes or a sudden medical emergency may have led to his death. However, law enforcement officials emphasized that conclusive information regarding the circumstances will depend entirely on the final autopsy report.
The police have formally notified the deceased’s family members, and the body will be handed over to them upon completion of standard legal and procedural formalities.
