He lost his father forever before he could reach adulthood. Since then, he grew up with his mother in a helpless family. The martyr's mother did not remarry despite having the opportunity, fearing that it would disrupt the upbringing of her only son.
Shaheed Mizi was the only son of the family. However, he has two sisters. They are married. Abul Hossain started his professional life as a private car driver after growing up. After reaching adulthood, the martyr got married. After some time, a beautiful son was born, illuminating the house. His name was kept Abdur Rahman. The martyr's son is currently studying in the fourth grade. Before becoming a martyr, Abul Hossain Mizi used to work as a bus driver in a private institution in the capital city. For this reason, he had come to the capital leaving his ancestral home with his wife and son.
How he was martyred
The month of July 2024 was a very painful month for the people of Bangladesh. Especially for the people of Dhaka, every second of this month was a terror. From the footpaths of the streets to the roof of the house, balconies and even personal rooms, people were not safe. Wherever people were, the hyenas of the autocrat Hasina shot and killed people. Abul Hossain Mizi became a victim of such barbarism.
He was a bus driver by profession. While going to the signboard area to perform his professional duties, he fell on the spot due to the bullets fired at the protesters. Passers-by took him to Pro-Active Medical College Hospital, from where he was referred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. There the doctor on duty declared him dead.
Villagers terrified by the ambulance whistle
July 20, 2024, the arrival of dawn with the chirping of birds. The darkness was cut and the light of day was born. The sweet voice of the muezzin's Fajr azan etheriid from the mosque of Baliagram. Suddenly, the loud sound of the ambulance spread all over the village at that time. There were two students in the ambulance. They brought the body to the village following the address on the ID card in the pocket of Shaheed Abul Hossain Mizi. On the other hand, his mother and wife were searching for him in the alleys of Dhaka.
The students with the ambulance first showed the ID card to a young Muslim, but they could not recognize him because Shaheed Abul Hossain had left the village for Dhaka long ago. Later, the locals recognized the martyr through another elder. Mizi's uncle, who was in the village, was informed. The uncle rushed and broke down after seeing his nephew's body. He described the incident to the martyr's wife and mother on the mobile phone. Then the martyr's family broke down in tears. It was as if the sky had fallen on their heads.
