Hasan Basir, Officer-in-Charge of Bogura Sadar Police Station, said the CID team would recover the body and provide further details later.

According to police and family members, Iqbal Hasan—son of Abdul Karim from Pipulbari Bazar in Sirajganj Sadar—had been working for the past three to four years as a cashier at Shatabdi Filling Station, owned by the late Abdul Momin Dulal in Dattabari. He lived with his five-months-pregnant wife, Nupur Khatun, in the Katnarpara area of Bogura. On Saturday around 10 p.m., after the day shift ended, Iqbal Hasan and salesman Ratan took over duty.

On Sunday around 9 a.m., another salesman entered the office and discovered Iqbal Hasan’s bloodied body on the table. He had multiple sharp-weapon injuries on his head and eyes. A knife was found near the body, while salesman Ratan was missing. The CCTV camera in the office was found destroyed. Police teams from Sadar, DB, PBI, and CID quickly arrived and sealed off the area.

Iqbal Hasan’s sister, Sadia Khatun, said her brother had no known enemies. She added that their family consists of only two sisters and Iqbal, and she had visited his home just two days earlier. She demanded that the killers of her only brother be identified and brought to justice swiftly, especially given her sister-in-law’s vulnerable condition.

Additional Superintendent of Police Abu Raihan said: Some time during Saturday night, cashier Iqbal Hasan was killed with a sharp weapon inside the filling station office. The CID crime scene team from Sirajganj arrived around 12:30 p.m. Sunday to collect evidence. The motive behind the murder will be confirmed after investigation.”
