Description of the Incident of Martyrdom
Shaheed Fazl Mahadi (Chayan) was a unique warrior who set a great example of self-sacrifice for humanity. On August 5, 2024, the day of the fall of the autocratic government of Sheikh Hasina, the common people were overjoyed and took out victory processions. The day marked the beginning of a new era of hope for everyone. Because, with the fall, the long-standing oppression of the autocratic Hasina came to an end.
Fazl, along with his two friends, Riad and Shanto, left home to participate in the victory procession. In a joyous mood, they proceeded towards Chitra Mor in Jessore city. It was then that they learned of the horrific fire at the Zabeer Hotel. After the fall of the autocratic government, the agitated public set fire to the Zabeer Hotel in Chitra Mor, Jessore, which was a patron of the autocrat.
Fearing that many people were trapped inside the hotel, Fazl and his friends joined the rescue efforts with the locals. They were filled with courage and humanitarian spirit. But unfortunately, in this horrific fire, Fazl, while trying to extinguish the fire and rescue those trapped, himself got trapped, becoming Shaheed Fazl Mahadi.
As the intensity of the fire increased, Fazl bravely jumped from the 8th floor of the hotel to the roof of a neighboring building. But who knew that this jump would be enough for his final farewell. He slipped and fell, and died on the spot, breaking his right arm and right leg.
Fazl Mahadi's death is a matter of deep sorrow for his family and friends. He was the young man who was always the first to rush to all kinds of humanitarian work. His bravery and humanity will forever remain indelible in people's hearts.
After bathing and performing the funeral prayers together, the three friends, including the neighbor's friend Riad Sheikh and Shanto, were buried in the Chachra Rajbari Graveyard. Fazl Mahadi Chayan will forever be remembered as a great Shaheed who sacrificed himself for humanity.
Statements/Feelings of Close Relatives and Friends about the Shaheed
The Shaheed's mother said, "This year (2024), on December 12th, he would have turned 19. For 19 years, as a mother, how many words, how many memories have been accumulated! He had grown tall, but not very intelligent. He retained his childlike nature. How many memories can I tell! If you come to talk about him, you will not hear anything negative. The people of the area knew him very well. No one will say anything bad about him because he was very gentle and polite. He would greet everyone and talk.
He always wanted to wear new clothes. He always kept himself neat and tidy, he didn't want to wear old clothes. He often bargained for new clothes and cleverly fulfilled his wishes. Now no one bargains anymore. It feels like my heart is being torn apart.
He was very childish. He would ask for this and that like children. He was very emotional, especially about clothes.
He had a strong desire to ride a motorcycle. On a Shab-e-Barat, his beloved maternal grandfather bought him a motorcycle. His maternal grandparents loved him very much; he was their darling. Now that motorcycle is lying over there, and my father is lying in the grave.
Whenever he went to the market, he would say, "Bring a chocolate." He loved sweet foods like ice cream and chocolate. He couldn't eat spicy food. My father was very emotional.
At first, he didn't attend the movement. On August 5th, he went out for the first time. He disregarded the restriction. He stated, "I'm coming from the front, give me food." After saying this, he went—and came back dead. He cleaned the deep freeze that day. He replied, "What will you give me if I clean this?" My father was unable to consume the leftover meat, even after I prepared it. He laughed as he exited the house, as I could see in the CCTV tape. I don't know what wonderful Allah has preserved. Allah alone knows why He picked him.
As a mother, he was very caring towards me. I have high blood pressure. He would check on me every day, whether I had medicine. Who will check now? Every day in the afternoon, he would take his younger brother and me for a city tour. He was sociable with everyone; he could easily start a conversation. He would buy chocolates and feed them to street children.
