Young woman found dead on street in Dhaka’s Siddheswari

Police have recovered the body of an unidentified young woman from a street in Dhaka’s Siddheswari.

The body was found on an alley of Siddheswari Circular Road behind Ayesha Complex opposite the Criminal Investigation Department headquarters of police in Malibagh around 10:45pm on Wednesday.

The woman, wearing salwar-kamiz and in her 20s, died after falling from a building, locals presume as they heard a sound before finding her lying on the street, Ramna Police Station Inspector Jahirul Islam told bdnews24.com.

There are three high-rise buildings, including a women’s hostel, next to the site, but no resident could identify her, Jahirul said.

“We will collect her fingerprints and run a check on the national database if we can’t identify her,” he added.
