Barrister Taufiq Newaz dies in hospital

Dipu Moni's elder brother JR Wadud Tipu said that Taufiq Newaz died at 10:27 pm. A decision is expected to be made after Wednesday afternoon on where and when his funeral and burial will be held.

Taufiq Newaz had been under treatment for a long time

According to family information, Taufiq Newaz suffered a stroke in 2019. He has been under treatment since then.

He was taken to the court in a wheelchair on May 27. There he met his imprisoned wife Dipu Moni. His relatives brought him to the court.

Taufiq Newaz was a Supreme Court lawyer by profession. After her death, the issue of Dipu Moni's release on parole to attend her husband's funeral has come to the fore.

Family awaiting parole decision

Dipu Moni's lawyers and relatives said that the necessary work related to the parole application is being completed. The family is awaiting the decision of the relevant authorities.

If Dipu Moni is released on parole, she may get the opportunity to attend her husband's funeral and burial. That is why the time of the funeral and burial is not being finalized until the parole decision is made.
