Thousands of people yesterday joined the namaz-e-janaza of slain publisher Faisal Arefin Dipan, who was hacked to death at his office in the capital on Saturday.
Friends, relatives, teachers, students, writers, cultural activists, fellow publishers and people from all walks of life gathered at Dhaka University central mosque where the body of the 43-year-old was brought.
Earlier, after autopsy, Dipan’s body was taken to Kobi Sufia Kamal Hall of Dhaka University where he lived. A heart-rending scene was created when Dipan’s body was taken to the university campus as relatives paid their last respects to him.
Dipan’s body was then taken to Azimpur graveyard, where he was laid to eternal rest.
