A 45-year-old man who was serving jail terms in a case filed over the attack on the motorcade of then Bangladesh opposition leader and current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in Satkhira in 2002, died at a hospital early on Saturday.
The deceased was identified as Zabid Raihan Lucky, former president of Jubo Dal’s Satkhira Kalaroa municipality unit and son of Kawsar Ali Sardar of Kalaroa upazila.
Zabid had been suffering from different ailments, including heart and kidney diseases. Recently, he was admitted to Khulna Medical College and Hospital after he fell sick in Satkhira jail.
Meanwhile, Zabid was produced in the Satkhira court from Khulna to record his statement in an explosives case on August 14. From there, he was taken to Satkhira Medical College and Hospital, where he breathed his last around 1.15am.
He will be buried at his family graveyard, following a namaz-e-janaza in Tulshidanga village after Asr prayer later in the day.
Zabid was sentenced to 10 years and four years in jail after being convicted of two offences in the case.
