The victim, <strong>Parul Akter<\/strong> of Kalihati in Tangail, had married against her family\u2019s wishes in 2012 and was later killed after returning to her father during marital troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the investigation, Parul had been living with her husband, <strong>Nasir Uddin<\/strong>, in Ashulia after eloping and marrying him. In July 2015, after family tensions and financial hardship, she contacted her father, <strong>Md. Kuddus Mia<\/strong>, who persuaded her to return home. Investigators say he then lured her to an area in Joypurhat on the promise of arranging a new marriage, where she was killed with the help of an associate and her body was thrown into a river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case remained unresolved for years despite investigations by local police, detectives, the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI), and the Criminal Investigation Department. Each time, the father rejected the findings and pressed for further inquiry, while also filing a case against Parul\u2019s husband. The breakthrough came only after a fresh judicially ordered investigation revisited an old general diary and traced a mobile phone number Parul had used before disappearing. Investigators say that line had originally been used by her father, leading to intensive questioning and, eventually, a confession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PBI later linked Parul\u2019s disappearance to an unidentified female body recovered from the Tulshiganga River in July 2015. DNA testing confirmed the body was Parul\u2019s. Authorities have described the killing as an <strong>\u201chonor killing\u201d<\/strong>\u2014a murder committed in the name of family \u201chonor\u201d after a woman makes a personal choice such as marrying without consent. A charge sheet has been filed against the father and the alleged hired accomplice, and the trial is now underway in Bogura.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What began as a years-long search by a desperate father for his missing daughter has ended in a shocking reversal: investigators now say the father himself orchestrated her killing in 2015 and then spent years trying to frame her husband while pushing multiple agencies to keep the case alive.
