Shanti Begum, wife of Ashraf Mridha, of Faridpur, went missing on June 5 on way to her father's house in Kanuriya village under Maksudpur upazila.
SI Abdus Salam of Sindiyaghat police outpost confirmed the recovery of the body.
He said: “Victim's sister Taslima identified the body. Later, it was sent to the Gopalganj General Hospital for autopsy.
