The body of Awami League Presidium member Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim’s grandson Zayan Chowdhury, who was killed in the bomb attacks in Sri Lanka on Sunday, has arrived.
"The flight carrying Zayan landed around 12.40pm at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka on Wednesday (Apr 24)," Group captain Abdullah Al Faruk, director of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, told Bangla Tribune.

"The family members of the deceased were present at the airport to receive the body," Abdus Sobhan Golap, office secretary of Awami League, told Bangla Tribune.

At least 359 people were killed and over 500 injured in bomb blasts that ripped through churches and luxury hotels in Colombo on Easter Sunday (Apr 21), the first major attack on the Indian Ocean island since the end of a civil war a decade ago.

Zayan, one of the two sons of Sheikh Selim’s daughter Sheikh Amena Sultana Sonia, died in an explosion in the hotel where the family was staying.

His father Mashiul Haque Chowdhury Prince was also injured in the blast and now being treated at a local hospital in critical condition.

The eight-year-old was having breakfast with his father at a restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel in Colombo that came under attack along with several other hotels and churches during Easter Sunday celebrations.

Zayan’s younger brother Zohan Chowdhary and mother Sheikh Amina Sultana Sonia were in their hotel room during the blast. The family went to Sri Lanka on a vacation.
