Md. Yasin

The opulent home of the dishonest MP Shimul of Natore Sadar, the infamous Jannati Palace. Yasin was one of the five Martyrs who perished in the fire at this Jannati Palace on August 5, the day of the students' and the public's final triumph.
An Overview of the Martyr’s life
Mallik Hati village is located in the Natore district's Sadar Thana. Like any other Bangladeshi village, it's shady and beautiful. Fajar Ali and Ratna Begum are a couple from this village. This couple's home was blessed with a boy by Allah Almighty. They gave him the affectionate name Yasin. On December 3, 2005, that was the day.
That little Yasin of that day grew up laughing and playing. The time for him to step from school life into college life was also approaching. But his life's lamp was extinguished by the cruel grip of autocracy! The beloved child of his parents was lost prematurely!
Martyr Yasin was a tenth-grade student. His school's name was Green Academy. He studied humanities at this school. His SSC exam was ahead.
Martyr Yasin has a beloved younger sister. Her name is Farzana. She is a sixth-grade student.
How Yasin Became a Martyr
When the anti-discrimination student movement started across the country in July, Yasin regularly participated in that movement. As the movement and struggle continued, the special day came—August 5th. When the news of Sheikh Hasina's escape spread, thousands of people took to the streets in Natore city, just like the rest of the country.
That day, Yasin was working with his father. Hearing the news of Sheikh Hasina's departure from the country, he could no longer contain himself! He could not stay still at work. In the joy of victory, he jumped onto the streets in the open air. He saw thousands of people rushing towards the luxurious residence of the tyrannical and corrupt MP Shafiqul Islam Shimul, Jannati Palace. The house where public entry was completely prohibited, today thousands of people were inside that house! Yasin could not resist the temptation to enter even once.
But the angry mob began to vandalize this palace built with ill-gotten money. Some people went upstairs out of curiosity. Yasin also went up. Suddenly a fire broke out on the ground floor and quickly spread everywhere. Everyone tried to come down. But due to an auto lock in a room, several people got trapped. Among them were Martyr Shariful Islam Mohan and Yasin. Despite many attempts, they could not get out.
At one point, they became weakened by the heat of the fire, and Yasin, Mohan, and two others were burned to death instantly.
Yasin's Extraordinary Life
A tenth-grade student, Yasin, helped his father, Fajar Ali, with work alongside his studies. Their house is located in the Mallik Hati area of Ward No. 6 of Natore Municipality. Near the house is Fajar Ali's wood shop. Where father and son mostly worked together. The monthly rent of the shop was 2500 Taka. After paying that, their family barely managed to survive with what little was left.
Fajar Ali and Ratna Begum have one son, Yasin, and one daughter, Farzana, who studies in the sixth grade at a local madrasa. Yasin's house is located on only 1 decimal (a unit of land measurement) of land. Where there are two small rooms. Yasin's mother, Ratna Begum, runs a small grocery store on one side of the house in between household chores.
In this way, Yasin's small family was managing, albeit with difficulty. However, as Fajar Ali was a supporter of the BNP, the enmity of the local ruling Awami League towards them continued to grow. Because of this, Yasin was also beaten several times. Besides, when the anti-discrimination student movement started, Yasin regularly participated in that movement.
On the day of the incident, when Yasin did not return home even after Maghrib, his family became worried. His phone was also switched off. Yasin's father, Fajar Ali, ran around all night searching for Yasin. Once at the police station, once to the army. But no trace was found.
The next day at 10 o'clock in the morning, news came that four bodies had been found at MP Shimul's house. Fajar Ali became restless and went there to see the burnt body of his beloved son Yasin lying there. In an instant, all of Fajar Ali's dreams were shattered. Fajar Ali and Ratna Begum became grief-stricken after losing their only son. Little Farzana became speechless after losing her beloved brother.
The country's dictatorial regime has been overthrown, but the Martyr Yasins will always be remembered by the new Bangladesh, which has lost countless Yasins and left their parents in a sea of pain.
