In a heart-wrenching gesture, the authorities of Kashimpur Prison in Gazipur facilitated a son’s final farewell to his deceased mother, fulfilling her last wish.
On Sunday night at 8:20 pm, Mamun Hossain, a detainee awaiting trial in an arms case at Hazaribagh Police Station in Dhaka, was allowed to see his mother’s body inside an ambulance at the prison gate.
The meeting, brief and solemn, was organised in accordance with the deceased mother’s final desire.
According to prison sources, Sufia Begum, the wife of Nil Mia from Dhaneswar in Itna, Kishoreganj, passed away on Sunday morning due to old age-related complications.
Her last wish was to allow her son, Mamun Hossain, to see her one final time.
Responding to this request, family members arranged for an ambulance to bring her body to Kashimpur Prison for a fleeting meeting.
