The bullet-hit body of a 25-year-old woman was found on the Dhaka-Mawa Expressway in the Dogachhi area of Munshiganj Saturday morning.

The deceased was Shahida Begum, daughter of Motaleb Mia. She used to work as a domestic help in a house in Dhaka’s Wari area.

Being informed by locals, the police recovered the body from the expressway and Shahida’s mother Jarina Khatun identified her body in the afternoon.

According to locals, Shahida was roaming with a young man in the morning and locked into an altercation with him.
