Sayidur Rahman Imran

The sole breadwinner of the family, Shaheed Sayedur Rahman Imran, was born in Uttar Bara Dalima village of Nazirpur Union in Bauphal Upazila of Patuakhali district. Imran's father, Mr. Kabir Hossain, is a laborer by profession. He earns by working in various shops. His mother, Lovely Begum, is a housewife by profession. Shaheed Sayedur Rahman is the second among the brothers. His elder brother, Toufiqur Rahman Limon, is an Alim examinee at Gulbagh Madrasa. His younger brother, Mahmudur Rahman Mahim, is a fifth-grade student at Dholaipar Government Primary School.
The daily income of Shaheed Sayedur Rahman's father makes it difficult for him to run his family. Along with running the family, it becomes almost impossible to educate the three sons. So, the middle son, Shaheed Sayedur Rahman Imran, was forced to take over the responsibility of the family after studying up to the tenth grade. His education ended here due to the poverty of the family. To run the family and to bear the expenses of the education of his younger brother and elder brother, he joined as an employee in a carpet shop at Baitul Mukarram Market in Dhaka. His family, including his parents and brothers, used to live in a rented house in the Mir Hazirbagh area. They do not have any land in their village home in Patuakhali.
How a Fresh Life Was Lost
In July-August '24, a mass uprising took place against the government. This fascist government has obstructed all just movements in the past. Through the quota system in government jobs, some students get more benefits and most remain deprived of benefits. The Student Rights Council was formed in 2018 with the demand for a just movement to reform the quota system in government jobs. In the face of intense movement demands, the government canceled the quota system instead of reforming it. Basically, in 2024, after a verdict, when the quota was declared to be reinstated, the students formed an anti-discrimination student movement. The students' demand was to give a permanent logical solution to the quota system. As the government did not pay heed to this logical movement, the pace of the movement gradually increased.
From the beginning of July, the students were continuing their just demands movement very peacefully. The fascist government used to unleash its autocratic police force, terrorist Awami Jubo League and Chhatra League on any movement to suppress it. In the context of the students' program on July 17, the students started gathering at the Shaheed Minar of Dhaka University. As the afternoon progressed, the autocratic government hired terrorist Jubo League, Chhatra League and hooligans carrying domestic and foreign weapons from Dhaka and outside Dhaka to suppress the students. When the students marched towards Dhaka University, the terrorists surrounded them from all sides. On that day, the hooligan force carrying Randa, hockey sticks and indigenous weapons in helmets started torturing the students repeatedly.
On that day, the streets were stained with the blood of thousands of students. When the injured students were taken to Dhaka Medical, the Chhatra League also carried out vandalism there. Students were not safe anywhere that day. But the autocratic government could not suppress the students that day, rather the students took to the field with double strength. The movement started spreading in different parts of the capital. In that continuation, the movement of students and people spread under the Jatrabari Hanif Flyover. The number of Shaheeds increased every day in the movement. Shaheed Sayidur Rahman is one of those Shaheeds. Who knew! On the day of victory, he will leave everyone's affection and go to the court of his Lord.
On August 5, the entire city of Dhaka became heated due to the anti-discrimination student movement. Shaheed Imran prepared to leave home to join the anti-discrimination student movement. Before leaving home, he said to his mother Naznin Begum, 'Mother, the country will surely be independent, if necessary, I will be was being martyred for the student community.' After hearing this, Imran's mother took his hand and said, 'Don't leave the house today, son.' Imran left the house without listening to his mother. Shaheed Imran joined the agitating students and people in the Jatrabari area. As the day progressed, a flood of students and people came down. To thwart the just movement of the freedom-seeking people, the police and terrorist Jubo League started throwing rubber bullets, tear gas shells and sound grenades indiscriminately.
As Imran was at the front of the procession, several bullets pierced his head and neck. Shaheed Imran fell on the road immediately. The students and people rescued Imran at the risk of their lives and took him to the Unicare Hospital. By then, the lamp of his life had gone out. On August 5, at around 11 pm, Imran's body was brought to his village home in Bauphal, Patuakhali. The next day, August 6, at around 10 am, after the funeral, he was buried in the family graveyard next to the Jomaddar Bari Mosque.
Feelings about the Shaheed
"As a son, Sayidur Rahman Imran was very good. He used to pray regularly. He never quarreled with anyone. He did not get into trouble; he spoke to everyone with a smile."
Cousin of the Shaheed, Md. Belal Hossain Jomaddar
Md. Imran Hossain (18) was being martyred after being shot in the anti-discrimination student movement. Before leaving home, he said to his mother Naznin Begum, "Mother, the country will surely be independent, if necessary, I will be was being martyred for the student community." After hearing this, Imran's mother took his hand and said, "Don't leave the house today, son." Imran left the house without listening to his mother. But he never returned home. He was being martyred.
