Authorities in Tangail have released a statement regarding a deeply troubling case involving the discovery of the bodies of a woman and her newborn child. The horrific situation came to light after a video circulated on social media, claiming that a pregnant woman had been murdered following an alleged "gang rape" incident.

On April 20, 2026, local residents detected a foul smell emanating from an area near the Louhajang River in the village of Guntia. Upon investigation, they uncovered the hair of a woman, which prompted them to notify the police. Responding to the report, officers from the Mirzapur Police Station arrived and proceeded to dig in the area, ultimately recovering the bodies from a sack.

Inspector Russell Ahmed of the Mirzapur police noted that the conditions of the remains suggested that the woman had been buried for approximately 8 to 10 days. Initial assessments indicate that the woman was approximately seven months pregnant, and the newborn was believed to have been delivered at the time of her death.

The police have initiated efforts to identify the victims and are continuing investigations to determine the individuals involved in this heinous act. Inspector Ahmed stated, "When the woman was uncovered, the body of a newborn was found with her."

Both bodies have been sent to the Tangail Medical College Hospital for autopsy, and the police are awaiting detailed forensic reports to precisely ascertain the causes of death. The police have urged the public to verify such sensitive incidents before disseminating information on social media, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and responsibility in sharing news.

As investigations progress, law enforcement is committed to uncovering the full circumstances surrounding this tragic event, and ensuring that justice is served for both the mother and her child.
