Hanif Ahmed's last show was on Friday (March 12) night with Kona, in Chandpur. Imran also sang with other musicians on the same stage.
Imran said, ‘I and Kana Apu were on the same show. Although we have not met in time. However, Hanif Bhai was in the setup of Kana Apur. It is learned that on the way back to Dhaka at night, Hanif Bhai got down near Meghna Bridge and left for Cox's Bazar with Partha Da. It's not really acceptable. I can't even imagine such a man gone so soon. It's a big loss for our music industry."
There is a shadow of mourning in the music industry after losing two favorite musicians. Surprise, frustration and anger have been circulating on Facebook since Saturday morning.
"We were together just a few hours ago," Kona said. "I did a show in Chandpur. After I came back home, I heard that Hanif Bhai is no more! Hanif Bhai was also saying yesterday, that he had an important issue to discuss with me. Now, I'll never get to hear that."
