Panna fled to India through the Dona border in Sylhet’s Kanaighat on 24 August. Indian police recovered the semi-decomposed body of Panna on 26 August.
The reason for his death could not be confirmed immediately.
However, according to NDTV, he was strangled to death and had injury marks on various parts of his body.
Panna’s identity was confirmed by his passport, which was found with his body, reports NDTV.
United News of India also reported quoting his family that Panna had $20 million with him, a claim that the chief of East Jaintia Hills district police of Giri Prasad has denied.
“We don’t have any information about the money. We didn’t find anything with the body except a passport and a smartwatch,” said Prasad.
Panna became the general secretary of BCL’s central committee in 1994.
In 2012, he became the assistant secretary of Awami League’s central sub-committee.
