Tens of thousands of people attended the namaz-e-janaza of Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inqilab Moncho, at Manik Mia Avenue but severe crowd pressure prevented hundreds from entering the designated prayer ground.
As the number of mourners exceeded capacity, many were forced to remain on surrounding roads and adjacent areas, offering prayers from a distance.
Witnesses said some people attempted to climb over boundary walls to gain entry. A few suffered minor injuries during the rush, although the situation was brought under control shortly afterwards.
The janaza was held amid tight security, with members of law enforcement agencies deployed across Manik Mia Avenue and nearby areas to manage the crowd and ensure safety.
Despite being unable to access the main prayer area, large numbers of mourners remained in the vicinity, reflecting widespread public participation in the funeral.
