As Nazrul fell sick during interrogation he was sent to CMCH where he breathed his last, he said.
“Doctors said Nazrul died of a heart attack. It would not be right to say Nazrul died in Rab custody,” he added.
However, Nazrul’s family declined to make any comment regarding his death.
His son Setul said, “ We don’t want to talk about the death. Please don’t ask me questions.”
