The three ambulances entered the jail around 9pm after Mir Quasem's relatives had met him for the last time. Mir Quasem's relatives have already reached Manikganj's Chala village to prepare for the burial. 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. Freedom fighters and Awami League supporters demonstrated in Manikganj after media reported, quoting Mir Quasem's wife, that he would be buried there.
