Fingerprints of five unidentified people killed allegedly under the wheels of a passenger train in Narsingdi on Monday, were not found in the database of the Bangladesh Election Commission, the police said on Tuesday.
The bodies were buried as unidentified people between Monday night and early hours of Tuesday in a graveyard adjacent to the Narsingdi railway police outpost.
Earlier, locals found the severed bodies of the five deceased at about 5:30am on Monday between Hatubhanga and Methikanda railway stations in Raipur upazila.
Inspector SM Rezaul Karim, the in-charge of the Police Bureau of Investigation in Narsingdi, told 抖阴精品 that they could not find the fingerprints of the deceased ones in the Election Commission database.
鈥楾wo of them are believed to be over 20 years and three of them under 18 years of age,鈥� he said, adding, 鈥榃e are assuming that these people were floating ones and that is why we could not find their fingerprints.鈥�
Narsingdi railway police outpost in-charge sub-inspector Shahidullah said that between 10:00pm and 12:01am on Monday night autopsies of the five bodies had been completed at the morgue of Narsingdi Sadar Hospital.
Later, the bodies were brought to the Narsingdi Railway Police outpost and buried in the graveyard near the railway station, he said.
Shahidullah added that the clothes, saliva and teeth have been collected from the bodies for forensic and DNA testing.
Replying to a question, he said that the exact reason behind the deaths would be known when the forensic report would come.
Earlier on Monday, Bangladesh Railway general manager (east) Nazmul Islam said that after analysing the positions of the bodies, they assumed that the deceased people were on the rail track during the accident.
The accident might have taken place when the Dhaka Mail train crossed the area, he added.
The police also could not confirm whether the victims fell from the train or were cut while sitting on the tracks.
The railway on Monday formed a probe committee.
An unnatural death case was filed with the Bhairab railway station.
In Bangladesh, deaths caused by train wheels are common, as many defy existing laws and use rail tracks.
