Voice 9, Dhaka Bureau: Police have
recovered the floating body of Wang Xiao Khui, 44, a Chinese engineer working
on an 800 MW under-construction power project inside a newsprint mill in
Khulna, Bangladesh. His body was recovered from the Bhairab River at Charerhat
in Khalishpur, the city, on Saturday morning. He worked as an electrical
engineer for the contractor, Sundong Sanlong Sun Hui Electrical Company.
Inspector Nimai Mondal of Khalishpur Police
Station confirmed the information. Police said locals spotted a body floating
in the Bhairab river around 9 a.m. on Saturday and informed the police.
Khalishpur police and naval police recovered the body.
Tuhin Mia, an interpreter at the Chinese company
Sundong Sanlong Sun Hui Electrical Company, said that on the evening of August
24, Chinese engineer Wang Xiao Khui went out for a haircut. In the morning, I
was informed on my mobile phone that he had not returned at night. I filed a
diary with Khalishpur police station in this regard.
Police are investigating the matter. But as of
Friday, he had not been found. He was last seen in the Chalerhat Ghat area.
This morning, some of us rented a boat and started looking. As we went some
distance from the River Bhairav, I saw the body of a man floating in the river.
Later, with the help of the police, we rescued him and found that he was
engineer Wang Xiao Khui. He is the electrical engineer for our company. He
worked on the Rupsa 800 MW CC PP project under construction in newsprint
interiors.
Md. Al Amin, safety officer and interpreter of
the RUPSA 800 MW CC PP project, said he has been working on the project since
February this year. He's been working here for about seven months. He's a very
good guy. He had no bad relationships with any workers or colleagues.
Inspector Abdullah Al Mamun Biswas of the Khulna
Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) said, "We have come here after
receiving the news. We are investigating the matter.
Khulna PBI SP Syed Mushfiqur Rahman said,
"As far as we have received, he used to work for an electrical company.
There was little chance of leaving the company. If anything was needed, it
would be brought in through an interpreter. According to the interpreter, he
was a very calm person. He was busy with work. No one can accept his death or
departure like this.
"It's too early to say if it was a mere
accident or if anyone was involved," he said. No injury marks were found
on his body. We will be able to provide details, subject to further
investigation. The word made them think. Kalipada Pandit's Talpatar (palm-leaf)
Pathshala (school) spreads the light of knowledge.
