Harish Chowdhury to Be Buried Today
Harish Chowdhury, the former political secretary to BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, will be laid to rest today.
On Saturday (December 28), following identification, his body was handed over to police and family members by Dhaka Medical College Hospital authorities at midnight.
Present at the time were the case investigation officer, SI Md. Wazed Ali, Harish Chowdhury’s daughter Barrister Samira Tanzin Chowdhury, and other family members.
Samira Tanzin Chowdhury stated, “For 15 years, my father was misrepresented. Finally, justice has been served.”
She added that her father would be buried with due honor on Sunday (December 29) in Kanaighat, Sylhet.
Paying tribute to those killed and injured in the July uprising, Harish’s daughter said, “Their sacrifice made my battle easier.”
It is worth noting that Harish Chowdhury passed away on September 3, 2021. His identity was kept hidden, and he was buried under the name of Professor Mahmudur Rahman in the premises of Jamia Khatamunnabiyyin Madrasa in Savar’s Birulia.
Following a writ petition by his daughter Samira, the High Court ordered the exhumation of the body in the presence of relevant authorities. Samples were collected by the CID for DNA testing, which later confirmed the body to be that of Harish Chowdhury. The family then initiated preparations to bury him in Sylhet.
