One of the close associates of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and a former lawmaker, Abdur Rahim passed away in the capital's Birdem hospital the day before, aged 89.

His body was brought to Dinajpur from Dhaka on Monday and was kept on the Dinajpur Shaheed Minar premises for an hour where thousands of people paid their last respects to him.

His second namaz-e-janaza was held following a ceremony paying state honour on Dinajpur Gor-e-Shoheed Maidan around 11:00am.
