Description of Shahadat
August 4, 2024, Sunday. When the pace of the autocrat falters, in the final moments of existence, the fascist Hasina government takes one extreme decision after another. Meanwhile, in one part of the country, in Sylhet, around three o'clock in the afternoon, protesters gathered in the Golapganj Choumuhani area. At one point, the tokay (vagabond) force, accomplices of the autocrat, the leaders and activists of the Golapganj Upazila Chhatra League, came over there. Later, a chase and counter-chase incident occurred between the police and the Chhatra League activists and the protesters. In the afternoon, a large number of students and people gathered under the Kadam tree opposite a school called Sunrise in Golapganj Upazila town.
In the afternoon, Minhaj was going to a hotel from his workshop to have a meal. While the procession was passing by in front of his motor mechanic workshop, he joined the procession. At one point, the murderous Hasina's killer police indiscriminately fired at the innocent and unarmed students and people who were protesting, and one bullet hit his chest, and he was taken to North East Medical in Sylhet.
The hospital authorities observed him and recommended that he be transferred to Sylhet Osmani Medical College. Minhaj's condition worsened. Minhaj, writhing in the agony of death, finally passed away around 7 pm.
Although he died on August 4, the hospital and the pet police administration began to delay handing over Minhaj's body. To keep the killer Hasina in power, her cronies began to tamper with the information about the body. To get Minhaj Ahmed's body, his elder brother Saeed Ahmed had to give a written statement to the effect that, "I am applying for the body of my younger brother, Md. Minhaj Ahmed (23), to be taken without a post-mortem, that at about 5:00 pm on 04/08/2024, my brother was standing in front of our Hafiz Engineering Workshop at Kadamtali Bazar under Sylhet Golapganj Police Station, when some unknown persons beat and injured my brother.
Then, with the help of the surrounding people, we took him to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital at approximately 6:30 pm on 04/08/2024, where the on-duty doctor examined my brother and declared him dead. My brother's body is currently in the hospital morgue. Our family has no complaints about my brother's death, and we will not make any complaints or file any police cases in the future regarding this matter. In this situation, I am willing to take my brother's body without a post-mortem and bury it."
Under pressure from the Upazila Chairman, they gave a written statement on the condition of not filing a case and finally brought the body on the 6th. His body was hurriedly buried without any inquest or post-mortem. How much pain there was for the bereaved family, only his family knows. The father's sorrowful face looking at the bullet used to kill his son. The whole village was in mourning at his death.
Minhaj's aunt said, "Minhaj was unmarried. He was a simple boy, he had no political identity, he was not a political activist of any party."
Through the sacrifice of his own life, he gave the '24th' independence to the country. Recognition is needed so that the people of the country can know about this great sacrifice of his. Minhaj played an economically important role in his family. Government and non-government assistance is needed for Minhaj's large family to recover.
