Police recovered the body of a Chinese citizen from the Bhairab River in Khulna on Saturday morning, two days after his disappearance.
The deceased was King Jong alias Workboz, an electrical engineer for the under-construction Rupsa 800MW power plant project in Khulna.
The Chinese national had been working at Khalishpur Power Plant House for six months.
He did not come back to the project site after going out to get his hair cut on Thursday. Later a general diary was filed in this connection, said police.
On Saturday morning, locals spotted his body in the ghat No 7 area of the Bhairab River and informed the police.
The body was recovered with the help of the River Police and sent to Khulna Medical College Hospital.
Khulna Metropolitan Police (KMP) Commissioner Mozammel Haque said the police are investigating the Chinese man’s “mysterious death.”
