Missing Dhaka man found dead at abandoned market after four days

A thirty-two-year-old mobile mechanic named Shariful Islam Suman left for work in Mirpur on a Monday morning and was never seen alive again. Five days later, on a Friday night in January 2026, police responding to an emergency call found his body in an abandoned market along Paris Road in Dhaka's Pallabi area. The severe trauma to his face and head speaks of some violent encounter with the world, though whether by human hand or cruel accident remains, for now, unanswered. A city waits, and a family grieves, while the truth rests in the hands of a medical examiner.
