In Kushtia’s Daulatpur upazila, the burial of self-proclaimed spiritual leader Shamim Reza, also known as Shamim Jahangir, took place under police supervision on Sunday evening. He had been killed by an angry mob accusing him of insulting Islam and the Holy Quran. The funeral prayer was held at 5:30 p.m. at the South-West Philipnagar graveyard, following an autopsy at Kushtia General Hospital and transfer of the body under army supervision.
Authorities reported that few followers attended the funeral. Some devotees had requested that the burial take place at his residence, but the family, local residents, and administration decided otherwise. The area around his residence remains tense, with police, RAB, BGB, and army personnel deployed to prevent further unrest.
Officials, including the Additional DIG of Khulna Range and the local MP, visited the site and urged calm. As of the report’s filing, no case had been registered and no arrests made. Injured individuals are receiving medical care under police protection.
