Circumstances of Martyrdom
Narayanganj, known as an industrial area in Bangladesh, turned into a haven for terrorism during the Awami League rule. The area was repeatedly stained with the blood of innocent people due to the activities of terrorist godfather Shamim Osman and his associates. The Osman family created an environment of fear here with the implicit patronage of the killer Hasina, known as the godmother of terrorism and the mother of the mafia. The much-discussed Taki murder case, the Seven Murders, and numerous heinous killings have occurred here. The people here seemed to be trapped by the terrorists. They were waiting for the moment of liberation. When the anti-discrimination movement started, the people here became excited with the hope of liberation.
On July 18, 2024, the anti-discrimination student movement announced a complete shutdown program. People from all walks of life joined the anti-discrimination movement to get rid of Hasina's misrule. The government tried to suppress the movement by imposing curfews and other repressive measures. The freedom-loving people also became reckless. They participated extensively in any movement and struggle program. On July 20, 2024, when Shaheed Mostafa Kamal was leaving the mosque after Asr prayers, armed activists of the Awami League and Jubo League started firing. At that moment, when an elderly man was shot and fell to the ground, Shaheed Mostafa Kamal stepped forward to rescue him. Awami goons and killers then fired at him, and a bullet entered through his forehead and exited through the back of his head. Later, his wife and locals took him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. While undergoing treatment there, he answered the call of Almighty Allah on July 22, 2024, at five in the afternoon and passed away.
Wife's Comments about Shaheed Raju
Describing the incident of that day, Raju's wife, Aklima Akter, said, "My husband was a hard worker. When he returned home from the garage, his hands were always stained with grease. On the day of the clash, he came home for lunch. After eating, hearing the sound of gunshots outside, he went to the roof of the house to see what was happening. From the roof, he saw many people on the road. Then he came down from the roof and went outside. At that time, suddenly, someone next to him was shot and fell to the ground. When he tried to catch him, he was shot in the head."
"After being shot, he crawled to the bottom of the apartment. His whole body was bloody. Seeing her husband's condition, I fainted. Then his friends took him to the hospital, where the doctors operated on him at 11 pm and moved him to the general ward. After being in the ward for a while, when his condition worsened, the doctors took him to the ICU for life support. He died there a day later, around 1:30 am. Later, he was brought home and buried. Weeping, Aklima Akter said, "Our family and his mother in the village lived on my husband's money. He was supposed to go to Singapore on July 24 because it was difficult to manage this way. But Allah took him away from this world before that. My happy family is over. I don't know how I will spend the rest of my life with my children? My only request to everyone is, 'Give me a job opportunity. I want to survive somehow with my three children.'"
