His wife, Morsheda Begum, said Delwar had been suffering from mental health problems. She saw him at home after returning from work on Friday evening, but he later left the house.
On Saturday morning, after failing to find him at home, she went to her workplace. She later received a phone call informing her that her husband's body had been found hanging from a tree beside a pond near Shishu Mitali Park in the Baligaon Chowdhury Bari area.
