Mahbub Hasan Niloy

Mahbub Hasan Niloy was a ninth-grade student at Siddique Memorial School and College. He loved to play football. He was very good at football. The martyr's father is a member of the Ansar Force. They have a three-story building. The martyr's elder brother was a Saudi expatriate. He is currently in Bangladesh.
On August 4, 2024, the anti-discrimination student movement called for a procession to start at 11 am from Pabna Government Edward College. As soon as it was 8 am, Shaheed Niloy's mind started fluttering for the procession. Elder brother Mehdi Hasan Milon, who had just returned from Saudi Arabia, sister Mahbuba Naznin and Mahbub Hasan Niloy - all three siblings were eager to join the procession. Mother Dil Afroza told her son, "If you go to the procession, where are your sticks?" Hearing her mother's words, Mahbub seemed to get more courage, he made three sticks himself.
At 9:30 am, Dil Afroza cooked hot rice and kochu bharta. Then she called her three children to the dining table. None of them wanted to eat with their own hands, the same habit of the three siblings - eating from their mother's hand seemed to be their daily right.
Mahbub didn't like kochu bharta very much. With two mouthfuls of rice, he said, "I won't eat."
Elder brother Milon sent him to the shop with money to get change for the car fare. Mahbub took the money and went out of the house to call other local boys to go to the movement. After a while, Mahbub returned home and saw that Milon and Mahbuba had left for the movement place by rickshaw as it was late.
Mahbub came home and said to his mother, "Mom, I will eat with kochu bharta (a vegetable mash)." Mother fed him. Who knew, that would be his last meal at his mother's hand. Then Mahbub went to the front of Pabna Government Edward College. Thousands of students had already gathered there. The students took a procession and took a position at Pabna Traffic Mor.
The students were singing patriotic songs there while sitting or standing. After about 40 minutes, suddenly Pabna Sadar Upazila Awami League Organizing Secretary and former Chairman of Bharara Union Abu Saeed Khan arrived at the north side road of the procession with his jeep. Getting out of the car, the chairman and his associate Nasir took weapons in their hands. From there, they started firing indiscriminately at the students. The students started running in all directions. Someone got shot in the chest, someone in the back, someone in the head, and someone in the eye. Instantly, the air of Pabna Traffic intersection became heavy with screams and cries. The street became bloody.
A bullet fired by Saeed Khan hit Shaheed Mahbub in the chest. When he was taken to the hospital immediately, the on-duty doctor declared him dead. Thus ended the chapter of a young man named Mahbub Hasan Niloy. On that day, another student named Zahidul Islam was martyred on the spot.
Shaheed Mahbub was afraid of his father Abul Kalam Azad's scolding. One day he dared to say, "Father, you scold me so much, you will miss me a lot when I am gone." Today, father Abul Kalam Azad cries profusely whenever he remembers his son's words. Mother Dil Afroza sits with rice for Mahbub, but Mahbub will not come anymore. He has gone forever, leaving behind all his fragmented memories.
When asked about Shaheed Mahbub Niloy, one of his neighboring uncles said, "Mahbub Niloy was an extremely good boy. From a young age, he had a deep interest in sports. He loved to play sports and often spent time on the field."
