DHAKA: The body of Zayan Chowdhary, underage grandson of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's cousin Sheikh Selim, will be brought back home from Sri Lanka Wednesday (April 24).

The body was supposed to flown back here Tuesday (April 23) which was later delayed due to necessary preparations.

"Zayan's body will arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, at 11:30am Wednesday," Awami League Acting General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif told Banglanews.

The body will be taken to the deceased's Banani residence from the airport.
