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

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

Controversy

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 the Detective Branch over the murders while Pinu denied any involvement of her son. He was charged with murder and the case became known as Eskaton Double Murder. On 30 January 2019, a Dhaka court sentenced him to life imprisonment.
