The body of blogger Ahmed Rajib Haider, who was brutally killed by unknown assailants in the capital's Pallabi area, was taken to his Kapasia residence in Gazipur Sunday morning.
Rajib, an activist of ongoing Shahbagh movement, was found stabbed dead near his Palash Nagar house in Pallabi Friday night.
Lamentation and grief of the slain blogger's relatives and neighbours filled the air when the ambulance carrying the body reached Rajib's ancestral house near Kapasia bus stand around 9:30am.
Rajib will be buried at his family graveyard at Sharashpur village in Kapasia after his two namaz-e-janazas on the premises of Kapasia Pilot High School and Syedpur Eidgah School after Zohr and Asr prayers respectively.
A pall of gloom descended on entire Kapasia after Rajib's death news reached his village home on the fateful night.
To mourn Rajib's death, Upazila Awami League on Saturday declared a two-day programme including wearing black badges, hoisting black flags at all business establishments and residences in the upazila.
National Flag was hoisted at all the schools and madrasas in Kapasia where students sang the National Anthem Sunday morning expressing solidarity with the Shahbagh protesters.
A monument designed by Rajib will be constructed on Kapasia Upazila Muktijoddha Chattar soon as the ministry concerned has already approved the design, said Mohammad Shahidullah, AL president of the upazila unit.
