The one-and-a-half-year old child, named Fahim, was caught in a fishing net in the Meghna on Sunday morning, said Haimchar UNO Sarwar Kamal.
“The body was handed over to the family later,” said Kamal.
The trawler, ‘MV Robin’, sank mid-river on Tuesday with about 50 passengers on board when it was hit by a cargo vessel.
Seven of the passengers—four children and three women—are still missing.
