Abu Mohasin Khan, the father-in-law of movie actor Riaz, committed suicide in his flat in the capital’s Dhanmondi on Wednesday night.

He shot himself in his head with a pistol while reciting the Kalema. Showing the license of his weapon, he said, “It’s not illegal, it’s licensed and has also been renewed. I’m leaving.”

In 16-minute-long Facebook Live, he also made a detailed statement directing how and where he wishes to be buried.
