Emacs received "C-জ" when I had pressed Ctrl and Bengali letter "জ"
together and "C-ও" when I pressed Ctrl and Bengali letter "ও".  But,
if I type them without Ctrl being pressed, Emacs doesn't receive them.

I have tested with xev, it receives keyboard press and release events:

KeyPress event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x4a6, subw 0x0, time 1455538, (603,427), root:(605,477),
    state 0x2000, keycode 44 (keysym 0x100099c, U099C), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x4a6, subw 0x0, time 1455609, (603,427), root:(605,477),
    state 0x2000, keycode 44 (keysym 0x100099c, U099C), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

The above was when I pressed Bengali character 'জ'.  And the following
when I press Bengali character 'ও':

KeyPress event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x4a6, subw 0x0, time 1458379, (603,427), root:(605,477),
    state 0x2000, keycode 32 (keysym 0x1000993, U0993), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,
    root 0x4a6, subw 0x0, time 1458480, (603,427), root:(605,477),
    state 0x2000, keycode 32 (keysym 0x1000993, U0993), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False
