Inqilab Mancha on Friday shared the coffin of Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson of the platform, who passed away while receiving treatment in Singapore on Thursday.
Posting a photo of the coffin wrapped with the flag of Bangladesh on its official Facebook page, the platform quoted Hadi, “I haven’t gotten so fat from eating haram (earned from illegal sources) that I need a special coffin! I will appear before my Allah in a very ordinary coffin with a smile of halal blood.”
Earlier, Inqilab Mancha said Biman Bangladesh Airlines commercial flight is scheduled to depart Singapore at 3:50pm (local time) and is expected to arrive in Dhaka at around 6:05pm.
His namaz-e-janaza (funeral prayer) will be held on Saturday after Zohr prayers at Manik Mia Avenue in Dhaka, the platform added.
Hadi, a fiery face of the July mass uprising and a prospective candidate for the upcoming 13th national parliament election, passed away at 9:45pm (BST) at Singapore General Hospital.
He was critically injured on 12 December when assailants opened fire on him while he was travelling in a rickshaw near the water tank in Bijoynagar, Dhaka.
Two individuals on a motorcycle approached his rickshaw, and one of them shot him at close range before fleeing the scene.
