New Delhi: Ishak Ali Khan Panna, a former leader of the student wing of Bangladesh’s Awami League party, passed away while traveling to India. Media reports indicate that he suffered a heart attack.
According to the Dhaka Tribune, Panna was identified as the deceased. His relative, Laikuzzaman Talukder Mintoo, an organizational secretary of Chirapara Per Sataria Union Parishad and the Kaukhali Upazila Awami League, reported that Panna experienced a heart attack after slipping from a hill in Shillong, Meghalaya.
Another relative, Jasim Uddin Khan, mentioned that he had spoken with Panna over the phone just three days ago. It was reported that Panna entered India through the Tamabil border in Sylhet, where he eventually passed away.
