Bangladesh, July 19 -- Police have recovered another body washed up on the Teknaf coast in Cox's Bazar.

This is the fifth body recovered from different points along the coast within 12 days.

Abdul Mannan, acting chairman of Sabrang Union council, said the body of a young man was recovered around 11:30am on Sunday from the bank of the Naf River, near the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) outpost by Shah Porir Dwip jetty.

He said police recovered the body after local people reported that it had drifted ashore on the riverbank.

The victim has yet to be identified.

Mannan said the series of bodies washing ashore could be linked to human trafficking by sea or the sinking of a migrant boat bound for Malaysia.
