Md. Fazlu

Shaheed Md. Fazlu was born in 1993 in Jahanpur village, Shashi Bhushan Upazila of Bhola district. From his childhood, he was gentle, polite, and an ideal person. He was an electrician by profession. His father, Mr. Aminul Haque (65), is unable to work due to old age. His mother, Saleha Khatun (55), is a housewife. In this fragile family, Shaheed Fazlu supported his siblings with his professional income. Fazlu's wife, Suraiya Begum (23), and his young daughter, Farzana Khatun (7), were well taken care of. But, in a cruel twist of fate, after Fazlu's Martyrdom, their organized family became completely disorganized, with no income and everything at a standstill. Just as he was sincere towards his family, his love for the country was also boundless. He was always vocal against injustice.
Description of the Incident of Martyrdom
From the very beginning, Shaheed Fazlu actively participated in the anti-discrimination student movement. He was ready to give his life to protect the country's sovereignty and for Islam and the Islamic movement. The large-scale crimes of autocratic Sheikh Hasina, such as genocide, various acts of corruption, vote rigging, and money laundering, had deeply troubled him. Therefore, he gave more importance to the movement than to his own family.
When the anti-discrimination movement announced a non-cooperation movement in Dhaka starting on the night of the 3rd and continuing from the 4th, on the day of the incident, 04/08/2024, at 4 pm, Shaheed Fazlu participated in a procession in front of Mirpur Staff College. Police and helmet-wearing forces began firing indiscriminately all around. At 4 pm, it intensified. Students and the public protested empty-handed, while the police, League, and Chhatra League together launched repeated attacks on the students and the public with domestic weapons. At around 4 pm, a police bullet hit Fazlu in the stomach and went through and exited his back. Shaheed Fazlu immediately fell to the ground. He was then taken to a hospital by students and the public, and at 8 pm, the on-duty doctors declared him dead.
Economic Condition of the Shaheed's Family
The Shaheed's elderly father, Aminul Haque (65), has spent the last years of his life with his ten-member family, including his 8 children. Due to old age, Mr. Aminul Haque can't do anything, but Shaheed Md. Fazlu played the role of the sole breadwinner in running such a large family. Working in a garment factory, Fazlu lived a good life with his family in Dhaka with his limited income and sent household expenses to his parents in the village, which remains an unforgettable memory for the family today.
Losing Shaheed Fazlu, his elderly parents have become helpless. The father repeatedly loses consciousness. Immediately after Fazlu's Martyrdom, their family life came to a standstill, and his elderly parents became speechless. The family has lost everything, as they have lost their only earning member.
Feelings of Close Relatives about the Shaheed
"When I came to the movement, I received a call that your brother Fazlu had been shot. I immediately rushed to the scene and took my brother Fazlu to the hospital. He passed away while undergoing treatment at the hospital." (Shaheed's brother)
"As far as I know, he was a good man. He was not involved in any anti-national activities." (Neighbor)
Special Family Information
The house where Shaheed Fazlu's elderly parents live is barely habitable. The whole family lives together in a dilapidated house. Shaheed Fazlu was the only earning member of the family. There is no source of income for his only daughter to study.
