Originally native to the lower Brahmaputra River, the only population ever reliably known consists of 150-300 turtles in a manmade pond which is part of the Hazrat Sultan Bayazid Bastami (also transliterated "Bostami" or "Bustami") shrine at Chittagong, where they are dependent on humans for survival.

Also, a population of these turtles was identified in the Kachapukhuri pond on Nilachal Hill, next to the Kamakhya Temple temple at Guwahati in Assam.
