The body was sent to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College for autopsy.
“We are suspecting that the journalist died some days ago,” Jasim said. “However, we will be able to confirm the cause of Biplab Zaman’s death after examining the postmortem report.”
Biplab had been living at a rented flat of the house alone over the last two years. He left behind his ex-wife, two daughters and one son.
