Police recovered the body of 47-year-old contractor Tipu Molla from an under-construction building in North Busabo’s Sabujbagh area.
The police sent the corpse to Dhaka Medical College morgue for post-mortem examination.
Tipu Molla resided at 57, North Basabo.
According to the inquest report, Sub-Inspector Azizul Haque Bhuiyan of Sabujbagh Police Station said the body was discovered around 2pm on Sunday under a vacant space reserved for the lift in the under-construction building at 55/2, North Busabo.
A forensic team from the CID collected evidence at the scene.
The body showed multiple injuries, including a broken left knee and a fractured and cut right ankle. Investigators also found a packet of cigarettes in Molla’s clothing. One of the cigarettes reportedly contained cannabis.
Authorities are considering two possibilities. Molla either fell through the lift shaft or was killed by assailants.
Post-mortem doctors have also been asked to determine whether he had consumed drugs before his death.
