On May 10, 2026, the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Gazipur, Bangladesh, denied allegations of involvement in the burial of five murder victims in Gopalganj. The denial came after reports surfaced claiming the DC facilitated the swift burial of the bodies, which were discovered in a field in Gopalganj district.
According to local police, the five bodies were found on May 8, 2026, in the Kashiani upazila of Gopalganj. Initial investigations suggest the victims were killed in a gang-related conflict. The bodies were buried quickly, prompting questions about the process and potential official involvement.
The Gazipur DC stated that he had no role in the burial and that the allegations are baseless. He called for a thorough investigation to clear his name. The Gopalganj district administration has not yet commented on the matter.
Police are continuing their investigation into the murders and the circumstances surrounding the burial. No arrests have been made as of May 10, 2026.
