Incident Details & Martyrdom Narrative
Shaheed Md. Sajib was born in 2006 in a large family in Dularhat, Bhola district. Shaheed's father, Nurul Islam (70), had two wives. Of the four sons and one daughter from his first wife, one son passed away. In his second marriage, he has three daughters and Sajib, his only son. In such a large family, the elderly father has no work, and their family barely manages to survive with great difficulty.
In such dire straits, to help his family and fulfill his parents' hopes, he took a garment job in Jatrabari, Chittagong Road. The second family was run solely on Sajib's income. But that hope was not fulfilled. Shaheed Sajib was as sincere towards his family as he was passionate about his country. He was always vocal against injustice.
Joining the Movement
On Thursday, July 18, 2024, during the 'Complete Shutdown,' Sajib actively participated in the anti-discrimination student-public movement. He tried to take part in the Jatrabari, Chittagong Road movement with the students every day. Every day from 11 am, the autocratic Hasina government's armed police force began firing tear gas and bullets at the peaceful movement of ordinary students. The terrorist forces of the Jubo League joined the police force. The bloodthirsty group continues to brutally kill countless children, adolescents, men, and women.
Martyrdom
On the final day of the government's downfall, August 5th, Shaheed Sajib, from his sister Saleka's (34) house, told his niece Sonia that he was going to the rally. But sadly, Sajib never returned from the rally. In Jatrabari's Chittagong Road, the killer police indiscriminately fired bullets at the innocent, unarmed, freedom-seeking students and the public. The hyenas were not satisfied with just carrying out indiscriminate genocide; they engaged in the barbaric act of disappearing bodies. At one point in the movement, Sajib was shot and fell to the ground by a bullet fired by the killer police. In an instant, his world turned dark. Sajib writhed in extreme mortal pain on the street. There was no way to rescue him from the war-torn scene. As a result, the revolutionary Sajib drank the nectar of Martyrdom on the street itself.
Missing Shaheed Sajib
Shaheed Sajib's elderly parents came to Dhaka from the village in search of him and, despite much searching, could not find their only earning son, Sajib. Shaheed Sajib remains missing to this day.
Sajib's elderly parents pleaded with the police but did not receive his body. Who can answer for this? Will it ever be found? How will this family ever forget this tragic chapter of their beloved son's life!
Shaheed Sajib was a good, gentle person to everyone in his family. According to everyone in the family, there was no hatred in his heart. There was no anger. But he never tolerated injustice. Finally, relinquishing the allure of this world, he participated in the movement to eradicate discrimination and was being martyred by the bullets of the killer police unleashed by the autocratic, murderous Hasina.
Family Condition
Shaheed's father, Nurul Islam (70), had two wives. Of the four sons and one daughter from his first wife, one son passed away. In such a large family, the elderly father has no work, and their family barely manages to survive with great difficulty. Therefore, Shaheed Sajib took a garment job in Jatrabari, Chittagong Road, to support his family. The second family was run solely on Sajib's income. On the one hand, there was a limited income, and on the other hand, there was an additional number of members in the family, due to which the Shaheed's father, Nurul Islam, could not properly provide three meals a day for his children. Shaheed Sajib (18), at this age, took his first job in a garment factory to support his fragile family. What Shaheed Sajib earned from working in the garment factory was just enough for the family to get by. His untimely death has made everything an unforgettable memory for the family.
Currently, his father, Nurul Islam, has become helpless after losing Sajib. Immediately after Sajib's Martyrdom, their family life came to a halt, and his elderly parents became speechless. The family has lost everything after losing their only earning child.
Shaheed Sajib's elderly parents, with their second family, live in a village house where even living is difficult. As soon as it rains, water leaks continuously from the dilapidated house.
Feelings of Relatives
Nurul Islam, the grieving father who lost his beloved son prematurely, says, "I am giving up hope of finding my son. I have searched a lot. I have left no hospital unchecked. I am giving up hope; the rest is up to Allah."
Ranu Bibi, the mother who is almost mad after losing her child, says, "My son was born two years after my marriage. My son left me behind; I did not get to eat from his earnings. I would have visited his grave if I died. But my son left first."
Jarina, the half-sister, says in a tearful voice about her beloved brother, "We loved our brother more than our own brothers. Whatever happened, he would come home and tell us. Who will tell us now? Where has my brother gone?"
Ripan, the nephew, says, "He was a week older than me. Sajib never misbehaved with me. Now I only remember him."
