An autopsy report has revealed that former general secretary of Bangladesh Chhatra League Ishaque Ali Khan Panna might have died of strangulation after fleeing to India, Indian media reported.
According to a report by NDTV, Indian police was quoted as saying that Panna was strangled to death.
“The postmortem report said he died because of strangulation- the cause of the death is asphyxia caused by throttling. The body has been sent for forensic analysis,” Meghalaya state police told NDTV.
“There were also multiple lacerations on the body. There were abrasions and bruises on the forehead, which could indicate a struggle by the victim,” the report added.
The semi-decomposed body of Panna was found inside a betel-nut plantation in East Jaintia Hills’ Dona Bhoi village on August 26. The area is 1.5 km from the India- Bangladesh border.
On 24 August morning, Panna and a few others crossed into Meghalaya through the Tamabil border of Sylhet.
