Freedom fighter Abdus Sattar was buried without a state guard of honour in Brahmanpara upazila of Cumilla. The 78-year-old passed away in Dhaka on Thursday, and his body was brought to his village in the afternoon, but the burial took place without state honors as no upazila administration officials were present.
Relatives, locals, and fellow freedom fighters expressed deep anger over the incident. Police stated they were fully prepared, but could not perform the guard of honour alone without the presence of upazila administration officials. Meanwhile, Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Munni Islam stated that a guard of honour is not given after sunset and mentioned uncertainties regarding the body's arrival and a lack of communication.
