Srinagar, November 10, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The mortal remains of Kashmiri MBBS student Adnan Altaf Rathar, who died in Bangladesh on November 4, reached Srinagar Airport on Tuesday morning.
Officials said the body was being transported to his native village in Sopore, in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district, for the last rites. An ambulance was arranged at the airport to take the mortal remains to his family.
The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) said Adnan’s last rites were scheduled to be performed on Tuesday. The association thanked Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his Advisor Nasir Sogami for their intervention and for ensuring an ambulance and logistical support to facilitate the transportation.
Adnan, a resident of Sopore, was pursuing his MBBS at Eastern Medical College in Cumilla, Bangladesh. He was enrolled in the institution’s 14th batch for the 2017-18 academic session and was reportedly in the final semester of his medical course.
He went missing from the college premises on the night of November 2. His body was recovered on November 4 from a pond in Monipur village in the Burichang upazila of Cumilla district.
His mortal remains were brought to New Delhi on Monday evening and flown to Srinagar on Tuesday morning. Kashmiri MBBS students studying in Bangladesh had earlier offered Namaz-e-Janaza in his absence and prayed for his departed soul.
His death has plunged his native village into mourning, with a large number of people gathering to pay their last respects.
