Mangaluru, Jan 7: Thousands of mourners on Sunday evening attended the funeral prayers of Ahmed Basheer, who breathed his last earlier today four days after he was attacked by a gang of trouble mongers in the city.

47-year-old Basheer was laid to rest at the burial ground located near the Muhiuddin Juma Masjid at Kuloor-Panjimogeru on the outskirts of the city after Magrib prayers.

On January 3, hours after Deepak Rao, a youth from Katipalla area in Mangaluru was hacked to death by a gang of four miscreants another gang had attacked Basheer at Kottara Chowki area in the city without any provocation.

The attack took place at around 9:30 p.m. when Basheer was returning his home at Akashabhava after closing his fast food outlet. A critically injured and unconscious Basheer was rushed to a hospital by two ambulance drivers. After four days of treatment, he breathed his last at 8:10 a.m. on Sunday.

Even though the family members wanted to conduct the last rites immediately after the post mortem, they had to wait till the arrival of victim’s second son Irfan from United Arab Emirates. Irfan had landed in Abu Dhbai just three months ago. He reached Mangaluru at around 6 p.m. Basheer’s elder son had returned from Middle East two days ago.

Meanwhile, the preparations for the funeral rites as per Islamic customs had commenced in the hospital itself. The body was given bath and covered in plain white cloths before transporting it in an ambulance to his hone at Akashabhavana at around 2 p.m. for public viewing.

The mortal remains were then taken to the mosque in a vehicle for mayyit namaz at around 4 p.m. Thousands of people thronged the mosque ground to see Basheer’s face for the last time. As soon as his second son reached the spot, the mayyit was taken to nearby graveyard and laid to rest amidst prayers.

Though they were not in a condition to speak, Basheer’s family members did not forget to appeal the people not to disrupt peace. They also urged the people to pray for the departed soul. “Nobody can give justice to my brother except the Almighty God. We request all the good people to pray for the departed soul. No one should lose patience and indulge in any wrong doing. Our anger towards the killers should not provoke us to cause any harm to our innocent brothers and sisters of other faiths,” said Basheer’s teary-eyed brother Abdul Hakeem Kuloor.
