Bangladesh Police have officially handed over the remains of Naren Dhar, an official from the Indian Assistant High Commission, to the Indian High Commission following a postmortem examination. This action took place after Dhar’s body was discovered on May 19 within the complex of the Indian Assistant High Commission situated in Chattogram.

Initial reports indicated that authorities found Dhar’s body under circumstances that did not seem suspicious. While a definitive cause of death is still pending, local police have expressed their belief that foul play is unlikely. This has led to a preliminary assumption that the cause may be of natural origins.

Upon the discovery, the Indian High Commission promptly notified local law enforcement agencies. The Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) responded swiftly to the scene, initiating an expedited postmortem examination to clarify the conditions surrounding Dhar’s death.

Postmortem Examination and Initial Findings

Hasan Md Showkat Ali, the Police Commissioner of the CMP, confirmed to ANI that the postmortem has been completed. “We have transferred the body to the Indian High Commission,” Ali stated. He added that the official cause of death would only be established after the postmortem report is officially released, but initial observations suggest that the death may be attributed to natural causes.

The CMP has also indicated that all necessary administrative and medical procedures were carried out promptly, in a manner that respects diplomatic protocols. This was done to ensure that the deceased official is treated with the utmost dignity during this difficult time.

Currently, the remains of Naren Dhar are being preserved in a frozen state by the Indian High Commission, which is making arrangements for his repatriation back to India. This process is being coordinated in adherence to both legal and diplomatic requirements.

Future Arrangements and Official Statements

Aminur Rashid, spokesperson for the CMP, confirmed that Naren Dhar was an Indian citizen and noted that his body has been transferred to the Indian High Commission post-autopsy. “They have placed the body in a frozen state and intend to return it to his family as soon as possible,” Rashid added.

As the situation unfolds, further official statements from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs are anticipated. These will likely address details regarding funeral arrangements and any updates related to the final autopsy results.

This incident has raised concerns within the diplomatic community, but local authorities have reassured that they are conducting a thorough investigation to ensure transparency and clarity regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of Naren Dhar.
