Opratim buried after second janaza in Cumilla

Opratim, the 13-year-old son of Comilla University Associate Professor Nahida Begum, was buried at Kotbari Bagmara grave yard on Sunday following his second namaz-e-janaza.

The second janaza was held at around 11am on Sunday, after which Opratim was buried at the cemetery.

After the burial, Opratim’s father, KM Firoz Shahriar, called for a speedy trial.

“My request to the current administration is to ensure a speedy trial. My son was only 13 years old. At this age, he could not have committed any crime, nor could there have been any romantic involvement. The CCTV footage clearly shows that he was going with them happily,” he said.
