Bodies of two siblings recovered in Lakshmipur

Bodies of two siblings were recovered from a waterbody in Nabbar Char area under Lakshmipur Sadar early Sunday.

The deceased were identified as Samia, 10, and Tajmul, 7. They were the children of Sujan Dali, a farmer of the area.

According to locals, Sujan and his neighbor Akkas Bepari had been at loggerhead for long over a piece of land. A case is also ongoing over this issue.

Sujan was long receiving threats from Akkas and his people.

On Saturday afternoon, Sujan went to a nearby shop with his three children by a boat. He kept his elder son with him and sent his other two kids to home with the boat.

The water of the river started to rise and the two kids went missing while returning home.
