Context of Martyrdom
In response to the complete shutdown program of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, the government imposed a curfew across the country. Despite knowing that going outside was not allowed during the curfew, the daily wage earners could not remain confined to their homes, as their livelihood depended on earning every day. Without work, there would be no food. Therefore, despite facing numerous obstacles, the working-class people took to the streets in search of food. During the Anti-Discrimination Movement, on July 20, 2024, at 3:00 PM, rickshaw driver Shaheed Md. Tuhin was traveling on Chittagong Road with a passenger. On his return, police and BGB indiscriminately fired at the protesting students and people. A bullet struck him on the forehead, and he immediately fell to the ground, succumbing to his injuries.
