His second funeral prayer took place at 9 p.m. at Gopalakhila School field, led by Jamaat’s central Nayeb-e-Ameer Maulana A N M Shamsul Islam. Following the prayer, he was buried in his family graveyard, and prayers were offered for his soul.

At Rezaul’s home, his elderly father Maulana Abdul Aziz was seen silently gazing at his son’s grave, while women inside the house were heard crying. Relatives and neighbors gathered to offer condolences. District Jamaat Ameer Hafizur Rahman condemned the killing, stating that a general diary had been filed with the police and preparations were underway to lodge a case. He added that further programs would be decided after consultation with central leaders.
