The body was discovered in a betel nut plantation approximately 1.5 kilometers from the Indo-Bangladesh border on August 26.


Digital Desk: The semi-decomposed body of Ishaque Ali Khan Panna, a prominent leader from the ousted Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League party, was found in the Jaintia Hills district of Meghalaya, reports stated on Thursday .

The body was discovered in a betel nut plantation approximately 1.5 kilometers from the Indo-Bangladesh border on August 26.

Panna, who had served as the general secretary of the Bangladesh Chhatra League and was a political figure from Pirojpur district, had been evading authorities since the Sheikh Hasina government fell on August 5. His identity was confirmed via his passport.

Currently, his body has been sent to Khliehriat Civil Hospital for further examination and identification. Initial police findings suggest Panna may have suffered a cardiac arrest while attempting to cross the border, though the exact cause of death will be determined after the autopsy results.
