The father of hero NYPD cop Didarul Islam grew so distraught when he learned of his son’s death at the hands of a deranged gunman in Midtown Manhattan that he suffered a stroke, his family told The Post.
The slain cop’s cousin said the Monday evening shooting by rifle-toting maniac Shane Tamura also rattled Islam’s pregnant wife, who was rushed to the hospital by police Tuesday morning.
“They are all crying,” cousin Muhammad Mainul Islam said. “There is no brother – only him. The family is really feeling a big problem. His wife had the doctor’s appointment. I heard one police officer from the precinct, she took [her] to the hospital.
“His father went last night to see him,” he added. “When he heard the message he had a stroke, feeling bad. So he had a stroke so the hospital did not release him.”
