The students gathered to offer funeral prayers and express solidarity with the bereaved family. Adnan’s mortal remains are scheduled to leave Dhaka on Monday evening for New Delhi, accompanied by his mother and other family members.
Adnan, a resident of Sopore in north Kashmir, was pursuing his MBBS at Eastern Medical College in Comilla, Bangladesh. He was enrolled in the institution’s 14th batch for the 2017-18 academic session.
His body was recovered from a pond near the college premises on the morning of November 4, 2026, after he went missing. He was scheduled to appear in his second professional MBBS Microbiology examination on the day his body was found.
The circumstances surrounding his disappearance and death remain unclear, with the All India Medical Students’ Association (AIMSA) and local political leaders seeking a fair, thorough and impartial investigation by the Bangladesh authorities.
The repatriation arrangements follow a week of uncertainty for the bereaved family and diplomatic interventions involving the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, the Ministry of External Affairs and the Jammu and Kashmir Government.
With the necessary formalities completed, his mortal remains are scheduled to depart from Dhaka on Monday evening and reach New Delhi.
