The Prime Minister went to the residence of Sheikh Selim, the maternal grandfather (nana) of Zayan Chowdhury, at Banani around 2:42pm. Sheikh Selim is a paternal cousin of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Sheikh Hasina stayed there for over an hour and consoled the family members of Zayan Chowdhury. A heart-rending scene was created at that time.
Sheikh Hasina also prayed for the eternal peace of the departed soul of eight-year-old Zayan Chowdhury.
Sheikh Selim, MP, his family members as well as other senior leaders of Awami League were present on the occasion.
A second grader of Uttara School, Zayan is a son of Moshiul Haque Chowdhary and Sheikh Sonia.
Moshiul also suffered splinter injuries in his kidney and liver in the deadly terror attack in Sri Lanka’s capital on Easter Sunday.
Zayan’s body was brought in from Colombo this afternoon.
A Sri Lankan Airlines flight carrying the body of Zayan Chowdhury landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 12:42pm today.
