Naval police found the body of a 17-year-old boy from the Karnaphuli River’s Fishery Ghat area of Chittagong on Monday, a day after he went missing following a boat capsize.
Locals spotted the body of Md Shohag, son of Md Karim in the river around 7am, said ABM Mizanur Rahman, officer-in-charge (OC) of Sadarghat Naval police station.
On information, naval police fished out the body, he said.
On Saturday night, Sohag went missing as the boat sank following a collision with an anchored trawler named FV Pertex-1 while crossing the river from Marine Fisheries Terminal.
Other passengers of the boat managed to swim ashore.
