Incident Details & Martyrdom Narrative
Shaheed Ahnaf Abir was the eldest and only son among four children of Harun or Rashid and Asiya Khatun of Barpakhia village in Delduar upazila of Tangail. Shaheed Ahnaf Abir was born on October 23, 1995, illuminating the small house of a farmer father. From childhood, the father dreamed of making his only son, who was extremely talented, an engineer. Even after reaching the very doorstep of fulfilling that dream, the father's dream was not fulfilled. The life lamp of this talented student of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of Manarat International University was extinguished by the associates of the fascist Sheikh Hasina.
Mother's Cry
My son will study and become a very big engineer. He will remove our poverty. Now who will I dream with? All my dreams are shattered. Who will I live with now? I want justice for the killing of my son.' - In this way, the martyr's mother lamented after losing her only son.
Information Regarding the Martyr's Family
Three sisters, Soma Akhtar, Saida Akhtar, and Asfia Zaman's only elder brother, whom they loved very much, was Shaheed Ahnaf Abir Ashrafulah. The source of income for the lower middle-class family was the father's farming. By farming, he admitted his son to Manarat International University with the aim of fulfilling his dream of making him an engineer. The two elder daughters were also married. The younger daughter and parents live in their own house in Tangail. The parents' dream was that their son would complete his studies and become a great engineer and alleviate their suffering. In their old age, the elderly parents would live comfortably. But their dream remained just a dream!
Background of the Martyrdom Incident
The intense anti-discrimination student movement, which had been going on throughout July, took a more final shape at the beginning of August. The involvement of the general public with the anti-discrimination student movement increased. At the same time, the terror of the fascist Hasina government's accomplices, the police-RAB and Awami League, Jubo League, Chhatra League, increased proportionally. In protest of this inhuman brutality of the government and the ruling party, the anti-discrimination student movement announced the March to Dhaka program on August 5, 2024. In the face of the resistance of the general students and the public, the autocratic killer Hasina was forced to flee the country. People all over the country burst into joy and victory processions started coming out from every alley. But even though the killer Hasina resigned, her accomplices were still active all over the country. Shaheed Ahnaf Abir joined one such joyous procession in the Bypile area of Savar. At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the police and accomplices of the Awami League attacked the procession. A bullet fired indiscriminately by the police hit Shaheed Abir's stomach. When he fell to the ground injured, local people took him to Habib Hospital in Bypile, where the on-duty doctor declared Shaheed Abir dead.
