A 38-year-old man was found dead under mysterious circumstances at a residential hotel in the Motijheel area of the capital on Wednesday morning, prompting an ongoing investigation by authorities.
The deceased, identified as Imran, was the son of the late Jalil Mollah from Khan Jahan Ali Upazila in Khulna district. According to initial reports, he had been staying at the Greenland Residential Hotel since Tuesday.
The incident unfolded on Wednesday morning when hotel staff reportedly discovered him lying unconscious on a staircase within the premises. He was immediately rushed by hotel employees to the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital. However, attending doctors declared him dead at approximately 8:50am.
