Three fishermen lost their lives after a fishing trawler sank near Kutubdia of Cox’s Bazar.

The deceased have been identified as Md. Shorif, Md. Shojib, and Md. Nazim, all residents of Noakhali Sadar, police confirmed.

Their bodies were recovered by fellow fishermen early on Thursday (September 11) and later sent to Chattogram Medical College Hospital for autopsy.

According to eyewitnesses, the trawler capsized late Tuesday night (September 9) after getting caught in fishing nets. Eight other fishermen on board managed to survive by floating in the sea for several hours.

The remaining fishermen were rescued with the help of another trawler, which also recovered the bodies of the deceased and the damaged vessel after around 15 hours of search on Wednesday.
