The body of tourist who went missing after being swept away by strong waves after getting off a tourist boat in the Dubla Char area of the Sundarbans, has been recovered.

The body will be taken to the city on Sunday after completion of the necessary procedures.

Members of the Forest Department and Coast Guard recovered the body from the Alorkol Sea Beach area at around 10PM on Saturday (November 7).

The deceased was identified as Riaz Ahmed,27, from Kathali Paschimpara in Bhaluka upazila of Mymensingh district.

Confirming the recovery, Assistant Conservator of Forests (ACF) of the Sharankhola Range under the Sundarbans East Forest Division, Dipan Chandra Das, said local fishermen spotted the body floating in the Alorkol Sea Beach area at around 10:00 PM on Saturday and informed the Forest Department.

Following the information, members of the Forest Department and Coast Guard jointly rushed to the spot, recovered the body and brought it ashore.

Earlier, on November 5, the boat ‘Mizanur Rahman Eco Tourism-2’ set out on a trip to the Sundarbans with 19 tourists on board.

At around 1:00 PM on Friday (November 6), the boat became stranded on a shoal in the Dubla Char area. While the tourists got off the boat and tried to push it free, a sudden surge of waves swept away four people.

Three of them were rescued, but Riaz Ahmed went missing. Since the incident, a joint team of the Forest Department and Coast Guard had been conducting search operations to recover him.
