After the execution of the death sentence, Senior Superintendent of Jail Prashanta Kumar Banik told reporters that the body would be sent to Manikganj. Born in Manikganj in 1952, Mir Quasem was raised in Chittagong. Mir Quasem was the convenor of NGO Rabita al-Alam al-Islami’s Bangladesh chapter when he started playing some role in Jamaat’s politics in 1980. Mir Quasem built no house but a mosque on the land he bought in Chala. Freedom fighters and Awami League supporters demonstrated in Manikganj after media reported, quoting Mir Quasem's wife, that he would be buried there.
