Confirming the incident, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Burichang Police Station, Mohammad Lutfar Rahman, said that locals informed the police after spotting a body cut by a train near the Eidgah area, south of Rajapur Railway Station in the upazila. Police then went to the spot and recovered the mutilated body of the unidentified youth.
