Advocate Bhaskar Bagchi, the president of the Natore District Hindu Mohajot, was found dead under suspicious circumstances on Saturday night.
His son, Tirtho Bagchi, found his father unconscious at their home in Lalbazar around 8:45pm and quickly transported him to Natore Sadar Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
Dr. Ismail Hossain of the hospital’s emergency department confirmed the death after examination, noting visible marks on the neck.
Upon receiving the news, police and local Hindu community leaders immediately arrived at the hospital.
Additional Superintendent of Police Ifthekhar Alam said, “It initially appears to be a case of suicide, but the exact cause of death will be determined after the post-mortem report.”
Bhaskar Bagchi was a lawyer and practicing tax law.
