The body of Omar Faruk who along with four other Bangladeshi nationals were killed in Christchurch mosque shooting in New Zealand, was buried in Narayanganj today.

A total of 50 people were shot dead as a white supremacist shot and killed devotees at two mosques -- Al Noor and Linwood -- at Christchurch on March 15.

Faruk's body was buried at a graveyard in Rajbari 11:00am following a namaz-e-janaza at the field of Sirajuddoula Club, our Narayanganj correspondent reports quoting the deceased's brother-in-law Sanoar Hossain.

Faruk is the son of Late Abdur Rahman. He was the third sibling among his one brother and three sisters.

He used to work at a construction company in New Zealand, Hossain said.

He left country for New Zealand some days after he got married on December 29, 2017. His wife Sazida Zaman Niha is currently with a child. 

Narayanganj City Corporation Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy met Faruk's family members and expressed her condolences to them after the janaza, Hossain said.
