“Brig Gen (retd) Arif Ahmed Chowdhury and Farida Fatemi, the father and mother of Abrar, went to Ganabhaban around 8:15 pm on Friday (Mar 22) and stayed there for nearly one hour,” PM’s Deputy Press Secretary Shakhawat Moon told BSS.
The prime minister consoled Abrar’s parents and expressed deep shock and sorrow at the tragic death of their son, Moon said.
She also prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul.
