Police have recovered the hanging body of a local BNP leader in Lakshmipur's Raipur Upazila.
The body of 52-year-old Yusuf Ali Bulu was recovered around 9am on Tuesday from his home in the Baburhat area, according to Mominul Haque, an investigating officer at the Hajimara Police Outpost.
Yusuf was the general secretary of the BNP's Uttar Charbanshi Union Ward 9 unit.
Baburhat residents said Yusuf had been going through some personal issues, leading to an intervention from his family at one point.
They believe the BNP leader may have ended his own life out of “frustration” stemming from those incidents.
Uttar Charbanshi Union BNP Organising Secretary Kabir Sarker said he went to Yusuf’s house after hearing the news. “For the past few days, Yusuf had been behaving erratically with everyone,” he said.
“On Monday night, he asked family members to leave the house and then took his own life.”
Investigating officer Mominul said the incident is suspected to have been linked to an extramarital affair. “An unnatural death case will be filed in this regard,” he added.
