A 30-year-old man, identified as Mohammad Saddam, who had returned from Dubai for Eid al-Adha, was found dead under suspicious circumstances near a canal in the Paroo police station area of Muzaffarpur district. The deceased had multiple deep wounds on his neck and head, seemingly inflicted by a sharp weapon. However, Paroo police are initially treating it as a road accident.

Saddam, son of Mohammad Islam from Chak Lahalhad village in the Musahari police station area, had reportedly eloped and married a woman from Majhaulia, Paroo, about nine years ago. Since then, he mostly resided at his in-laws' house. He worked as a tailor master in Dubai and had come to his in-laws' place for Eid. His family was informed on Monday evening about his death. His body was found near the Paroo-Jafarabad canal, bearing severe cuts on his neck and head injuries. His family suspects it to be a pre-planned murder disguised as an accident.

Mohammad Shah Nawaz Alam, Saddam's brother-in-law, stated that Saddam had gone to the market on Monday evening, and his body was found on the way back. Police have sent the body for post-mortem examination. The Paroo Station House Officer confirmed the recovery of the body with sharp weapon marks. Further legal action will be taken based on the family's statement and application. Police are investigating both angles: murder and road accident.
