A 13-year-old schoolboy who went missing from Cumilla’s Kotbari area has been found dead near the foothills of the Lalmai hills, a day after his disappearance.
The deceased was identified as Ishayeq Shahriar Opratim, a seventh-grade student at Border Guard Public School. He was the only son of Cumilla University’s Department of Bangla Associate Professor Dr. Nahida Nahid and K.M. Firoz Shahriar.
Opratim left his home in the Kotbari area around 3:30 pm on Friday, September 18, reportedly taking his mother’s iPhone to take photographs with friends. He did not return home afterward. His family later filed a general diary with the Sadar South Police Station.
On Saturday, September 19, his bloodied body was recovered from a secluded area in Sananda village of Bijoypur, near the Lalmai hills in Cumilla’s Sadar South upazila.
Earlier, police had been reviewing CCTV footage from areas around Cumilla University and tracking the phone’s last known location as part of the search operation.
The circumstances surrounding Opratim’s death and the identity of those responsible have not yet been officially established. Police are investigating the incident.
