On Sunday morning, the body of a 25-year-old suspect was found at the RAB-9 lock-up in Golapganj, Sylhet.
KM Shahidul Islam, an additional superintendent of police and RAB-9 spokesperson, confirmed the news on Monday night.
Shahidul said that Tanvir Chowdhury, who had been detained on a murder charge on Saturday night, tied a blanket around his neck and hung himself from the grill of a vent in a bathroom.
He added that RAB had CCTV footage from the night of the incident.
Tanvir's sister has filed an unnatural death case with the Golapganj Police Station in this regard.
Shahidul also said RAB officials recovered the body in the presence of Golapganj Upazila Nirbahi Officer Milton Chandra Pal and Tanvir's family members.
It was then sent to the Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College for autopsy before being handed over to the family.
Why was Tanvir detained?
Tanvir was arrested by RAB in Jaintapur, Sylhet, on Saturday night.
Shahidul added that they planned to hand him over to police in Naogaon, where he stands accused of killing his wife.
According to a press release issued by RAB-9 on Sunday, Tanvir, aided by two or three accomplices, allegedly fatally stabbed his wife at Kathaltoli intersection of Bhabanipur in Naogaon and fled the scene on 11 September.
Her mother filed a murder case with Naogaon Sadar Model Police Station later.
