Dhaka, Feb. 11 -- Locals at Ukhiya in Cox's Bazar have found the body of an unidentified person in a canal with a khaki uniform and olive helmet amid fighting between the Myanmar military and rebels along the border.

The uniform and dark face paint indicate that the person belongs to the Myanmar military or a rebel group, and it washed away into Bangladesh from Myanmar's Dhekibuniya through the canal, locals said after the recovery of the body on Sunday.

Md Shamim Hossain, chief of Ukhiya Police Station, said the body was found in the Balukhali Customs area.

He said they dispatched a police team to the scene, and will take steps once the team returns.
