Content creator Kaarina Kaisar’s funeral prayers have been held at the Central Shaheed Minar.

Following the prayers held around 10pm on Sunday, student leaders present at the venue chanted slogans recalling the July Uprising.

Leaders and activists from organisations including National Citizen Party (NCP), AB Party, Chhatra Dal, Chhatra Shibir and Chhatra Shakti, along with representatives of other political, social and student groups, attended the prayer.

Kaarina will be laid to rest on Monday morning in Abdullapur of Munshiganj's Gazaria Upazila following a final funeral prayer at 7am.

She had been battling severe liver complications and was hospitalised in Dhaka for over a week, where she was eventually put on life support as her condition deteriorated.

On May 11, Kaarina was airlifted to India and admitted to the Christian Medical College (CMC) Hospital in Chennai’s Vellore.

While doctors initially considered a liver transplant, her frail physical condition meant she could not withstand major surgery.

Doctors focused instead on managing a severe infection, as fluid and phlegm had accumulated in her lungs.

Her condition never stabilised enough for the surgery.

She breathed her last on Friday night.

After completing her A Levels and before pursuing higher education in Australia, Kaarina worked at bdnews24.com as an intern at the English Desk.

Upon returning to Bangladesh, she initially garnered popularity as a digital content creator before transitioning into mainstream acting and screenwriting.

She was progressively cementing her footprint in the media industry, with notable appearances in popular projects such as Internsheep and 36-24-36.
