Following the lonely death of an elderly mother in a littered Mirpur flat, intense public scrutiny has focused on her established children for alleged neglect.
However, the case remains recorded only as an unnatural death, with police awaiting the postmortem report before deciding on further legal actions.
Police recovered the body of Nurjahan Begum from a flat in Mirpur's Pallabi on May 31 after responding to a 999 emergency call.
Her body was found on a small cot surrounded by heaps of garbage.
The law-enforcing agency noted that the body showed signs of decomposition and insect infestation, suggesting she had passed away days prior without her children's knowledge.
