Md. Kamrul Islam Setu

Md. Kamrul Islam Setu, a heroic soldier of the anti-discrimination student movement, was born on October 23, 1976, in Faridpur Sadar Upazila. His father was the late Md. Motaleb Howlader and his mother is Mosha: Hamida Begum, a housewife. Md. Kamrul Islam Setu was the sole breadwinner of his four-member family. The monthly income of Tk 70,000 from his partnership business at SA Total Solutions covered the family expenses, including the education of his children. His only son, Alvi Bin Islam, is studying in the CSE department of Southeast University. His father's dream was for his son to become a renowned computer engineer in the country. His daughter, Umaiya Islam Sneha, has just finished her higher secondary education. He also had colorful dreams for his daughter.
Martyrdom
Sunday, August 4, 2024. Md. Kamrul Islam Setu went out to offer Zohr prayers at noon. After the prayers, he set off for his business establishment in Mirpur 10. At that time, the police force nurtured by the autocracy started firing tear gas and bullets at the peaceful student movement. The Awami League's terrorist forces joined the police. The violent Awami League forces and their fostered police continued to fire to disperse the students. Suddenly, a bullet hit Kamrul Islam Setu's head. He immediately fell on the street. Some of the protesting students took him to the hospital for treatment. Upon hearing the news of the autocratic Awami government's repression of students and ordinary people, Setu's family became worried and tried to contact him by calling his mobile phone. Unable to reach him, the family became anxious. At one point, an unknown person answered Md. Kamrul Islam Setu's mobile phone and informed them that he had been shot. He had been taken to the hospital. Later, the family members searched various hospitals and found him dead at Dhaka Neuroscience Hospital. The medical certificate states that the deceased's time of death was around 6:30 pm.
Family Condition
A pall of grief descended upon Md. Kamrul Islam Setu's family after his death. It is almost impossible for Kamrul Islam Setu's wife to bear the expenses of her two children's education and all family expenses. As a result, the dream of his son Alvi Bin Islam becoming a computer engineer has become uncertain. With the loss of the family's only earning father, the education of his daughter Umaiya Islam Sneha is also uncertain.
Need for Assistance
Md. Kamrul Islam Setu's family can be assisted with monthly or annual financial support, as well as educational support for his two children.
Appeal to State Officials
The humble, polite, and honest Shaheed Md. Kamrul Islam Setu was brutally shot and killed in broad daylight by Awami terrorists, Chhatra League, Jubo League, and Awami-backed police. The locals and the Shaheed's family have demanded exemplary punishment for this. May Allah accept his martyrdom.
