A large number of people were present in his house when the body arrived from Islamabad. Moving scenes were witnessed on the occasion. The family members of the victim were informed about the targic death of Mr Hussain early on Wednesday morning.

Hussain's family members had spoken with him on the phone when he was at the hospital after the blast. As there is no phone facility, his mother and other family members came to Dizg, at a distance of about nine km, and made the phone call from a cardless phone.
Meanwhile, a large number of people from many distant villages of the valley are coming to Bang to condole the death.
