The body of a local Krishak Dal leader was exhumed under a court order on Sunday, nearly 14 months after his burial at Terbeki in Lakshmipur municipality.
The body of Shahadat Hossain Parash, former vice-president of the district unit Krishak Dal, was exhumed around 11:30am from the family graveyard.
Executive Magistrate Hasan Muhammad Nahid Sheikh Sumon and Medical Officer of Lakshmipur Sadar Hospital Arman Hossain were present during the process.
Parash, son of Jalal Uddin of Shamsherabad area, died in Jorarganj Mostan Nagar area of Chattogram district on March 7 last year.
According to family members, Parash had returned from abroad and later went to Chattogram with his friend Mohon to buy a soil excavation vacuum machine. He was carrying Tk 10 lakh for the purchase at that time.
Officials said the body was sent to Lakshmipur Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy. Authorities will re-bury the body after the examination, said Executive Magistrate Nahid Sheikh.
