A housewife named Farhana Yasmin Shila (45) has died under abnormal circumstances in Rangabali, Patuakhali, creating a stir in the area. Relatives have alleged that she was killed and her body was hanged. Accusations have been raised against her husband, Russel Mahmud (48), joint convener of the Rangabali upazila Jubo Dal. However, the exact cause of death has not been confirmed yet, and police stated that legal action will follow after receiving the autopsy report.
On Friday morning, Shila's body was recovered from their home in the Baherchar Bazar area of the upazila's sadar union. Police reached the spot, conducted an initial inquest, and sent the body to the Patuakhali Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsy. Following the autopsy, the body was handed over to the family, and an unnatural death case has been filed at the Rangabali police station.
Family members claimed that Shila married Russel Mahmud for the second time about a year and a half ago, and disputes arose between them ever since over various issues, including pressure to take control of Shila's ancestral property. Local sources claim that Russel Mahmud has been in hiding since the incident, and allegations have also been made regarding lobbying to hush up the matter.
