Pinu Khan (2 February 1954 – 17 March 2024) was a Bangladesh Awami League politician and a former member of parliament from the Reserved women's seats.

## Life and career[edit | edit source]

Pinu Khan was born on 2 February 1954.[1] He was selected to the parliament on 5 January 2014 from reserved women's seat-23 as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate.[2] She served as the General Secretary of Mohila Awami League.[3] Khan died on 17 March 2024, at the age of 70.[4]

## Controversy[edit | edit source]

Khan's son, Bakhtiar Alam Rony, fired his licensed gun in a traffic jam in an incident in April 2015. His shooting killed Abdul Hakim, a rickshaw puller, and Yakub Ali, an auto-rickshaw driver. He was interrogated by Detective Branch over the murders while Pinu denied any involvement of her son.[3][5] He was charged with murder and the case became known as Eskaton Double Murder.[6][7][8][9] On 30 January 2019, a Dhaka court sentenced him to life imprisonment.[10]
