She told reporters that they went to the clinic Tuesday but authorities did not allow them to visit Jasmine. They returned to the clinic the next day and found all the gates closed with no staff around.

On information, police broke the gate and recovered Jasmine's body.

Police sent the body to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) and seized a few pieces of furniture.

DMCH sources said the body bore a four-month-old embryo in her uterus.

Meantime, the body of another teenage, Rozina Akhter Rosy, who was allegedly forced into an abortion and died in Badda Wednesday, still remained at the DMCH morgue. Her father refused to take her for his inability to perform her funeral.
