Tarique visits younger brother Koko’s grave

BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman on Saturday offered fateha at the grave of his younger brother Arafat Rahman Koko.

Tarique arrived at the Banani Graveyard at around 1:50PM, completing the National Identity Card (NID) registration and voter enlistment process at the Election Commission’s National Identity Wing.

He offered fateha at the grave and joined a munajat, seeking salvation of Koko’s departed soul.

Arafat Rahman Koko, a sports organiser, died of cardiac arrest in Malaysia on January 24, 2015, at the age of 45. His body was brought back to Bangladesh on January 27 and buried at the Banani Graveyard.

This is the first time Tarique Rahman offered fateha at his brother’s grave, as he had been living in exile in London for the past 17 years.
