UNB :
Md Hadisur Rahman, who was killed on March 3 in a rocket attack on a Bangladeshi ship stranded at a Ukrainian port, was laid to rest at his family graveyard in Kadamtala village of Barguna on Tuesday morning.
His namaz-e-janaza was held at 10am. A doa mahfil was also arranged after the burial that was attended by hundreds of people in the village in Betagi upazila.
Villagers thronged the yard of his house to get a last glimpse of Hadisur after the freezer van carrying his body reached his home around 10pm on Monday. His familymembers broke down as they saw the body after 12 days of getting the news of his death.
A Turkish Airlines flight carrying Hadisur’s body landed at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 12.30pm on Monday and after all the formalities were done, a freezer left with the same for Barguna around 2pm on Monday.
On March 3, Hadisur, a third engineer of Bangladeshi vessel ‘Banglar Samriddhi’, was killed in a rocket attack on the ship stranded at Ukrainian port Olvia.
The body of Hadisur was scheduled to reach Dhaka on Sunday from Romania via Istanbul but the flight carrying the body failed to take off on time due to a heavy snow storm in Istanbul.
Earlier on March 9, 28 surviving crew members of the Bangladeshi ship who were stranded in war-torn Ukraine, arrived in Dhaka. They went from Ukraine to Moldova to reach Bucharest in Romania, from where they flew to Dhaka.
The Bangladesh Shipping Corporation (BSC) ship had been stranded at Olvia port in Ukraine since February 23, following Russia’s invasion of its eastern European neighbour.
Hadisur, third engineer of the BSC ship, was killed in the rocket attack on the vessel. The ship had since then been declared abandoned.
Hadisur’s body was preserved in a bunker near Ukraine as the procedure to bring it back was delayed due to the worsening situation in Ukraine.
