Shahjahan Bhuiyan: Bangladesh’s deadliest ************ *****

Bangladesh’s deadliest ************, who hanged serial killers and politicians alike and even wrote a book about it, has *****.

Shahjahan Bhuiyan, 74, was admitted to hospital on Monday in the country’s capital, Dhaka, after complaining of chest pains.

He later ***** while undergoing treatment, local media report.

Bhuiyan is thought to have carried out at least 26 executions but some reports have put the number as high as 60.

A former revolutionary, he became a hangman while serving a 42-year prison sentence for robbery and *******.

Bhuiyan’s ******* to have his jailtime reduced by volunteering as an ************ was rewarded last year when he was released 10 years early.

Among those who ***** at his hands were military officers found guilty of ******** the country’s founding leader, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman – father of Bangladesh’s current prime minister.

He also ********* politicians Ali Ahsan Mujahid and Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury, who were both charged with war *******, as well as the serial ******* Ershad Shikder.

Bhuiyan had always defended his role as a hangman, reportedly saying, “If I didn’t hang them, someone else would.”

A book about his experiences, including an explanation of the hanging procedure, was released earlier this year and attracted significant attention.

Following his release from prison, Bhuiyan briefly married a girl who was 50 years younger than him and, according to the Dhaka Tribune, faced legal complications as a result.
