Police have discovered the body of Moni Kishore, a renowned singer from the 1990s, at his residence in Rampura, Dhaka. Moni, known for hit songs like ‘Ki Chhile Amar Tumi,’ was found around 10 PM on Sunday.
The singer lived alone in a house located behind the Bangladesh Television building following his divorce. His daughter currently resides in the United States.
According to Ataur Rahman Akondo, chief of Rampura Police Station, the landlord alerted the authorities after noticing an unusual smell when he went to collect rent. When he received no response after knocking, he called the police, who gained entry and discovered Moni’s body on the bed.
It is believed Moni had not been seen outside for several days, leading police to estimate he may have passed away 4 to 5 days prior. There were no visible signs of injury on the body, and investigators suspect he may have died from an illness. Medical documents, including CT scans and MRI reports, were found at his home.
The body has been sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
Although Moni released his last album a decade ago, he continued to perform intermittently on television, radio, and at live events. Prior to his music career, he was involved in the textile industry and maintained ties to that business throughout his musical journey.
Over his career, Moni recorded more than 500 songs, with ‘Ki Chhile Amar Tumi’ being among his most celebrated tracks. He also composed over 20 songs, further cementing his legacy in the Bangladeshi music scene.
