Police yesterday recovered 14 pieces of the body of a man brutally murdered by unknown criminals in the city. The bare pieces of the body were recovered from a two square kilometre area of Lalbagh. However, the head and a hand, severed from the wrist, are still missing. The victim has been identified as Md Asgar Ali, 32, owner of a payphone shop on RNG Road in Lalbagh who has been missing since Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, locals including Asgar's relatives laid siege to the Lalbagh Police Station in the evening for about an hour demanding arrest and punishment of Asgar's killers. Police later dispersed the agitating crowd on assurance that police was taking proper action on the matter. Detective Police picked up two people, Zahirul Islam Zahir and Saiful, for questioning in this connection.
