Police recovered throat-slit bodies of three young men from the hills of North Shilkhali area in Baharchhara union under Teknaf upazila of Cox’s Bazar.
Baharchhara Police Outpost In-charge Durjoy Biswas confirmed the incident.
The bodies were recovered from the remote area between 10am and 10:30am on Tuesday.
