Incident Details & Martyrdom Narrative
Shaheed Mohammad Firoz Talukdar was born on January 1, 1981, in Ghatandi village, Bhuiyapur upazila, Tangail district, in an extremely poor family. Among two brothers and one sister, Shaheed Firoz was the eldest. Due to poverty, he could not continue his education much further. Shaheed Firoz Talukdar, who passed eighth grade, worked as an office assistant in a private company in Dhaka to earn a living. He received a salary of only 12 thousand Taka per month from his job, with which he managed the expenses of his four-member family, including his elderly mother, wife, and a daughter. Having lost the only breadwinner, the members of the martyr's family have become helpless. Just one month before Shaheed Firoz's martyrdom, his elderly father passed away.
Background of Martyrdom
When the Awami fascist government started suppressing the anti-discrimination student movement, the student movement announced a "Complete Shutdown" program across the country on July 18. The students' "Complete Shutdown" program virtually paralyzed the entire country. The general public across the country took to the streets in solidarity with the students' movement. The capital Dhaka's Mirpur 10 intersection was no exception. On July 19, Mirpur 10 intersection turned into a gathering place for students and the public. At half past four in the afternoon, the police and RAB forces, accomplices of the autocracy, opened fire from a helicopter on this gathering of unarmed, innocent common students and the public. The bullet hit Shaheed Firoz Talukdar's stomach. Injured and falling to the ground, Shaheed Firoz was martyred on the spot.
