Context of Martyrdom
Shaheed Mohammad Liton was a hardworking garment worker. He used to support his father with his earnings. His days were passing with relative ease. However, July 20, 2024, disrupted everything in his life. The day will be remembered as a sorrowful day for his family. On this day, students from BRAC University were protesting in the Badda area of Dhaka against some government policies. Liton left home around 10:30 AM. Around 11:30 AM, he was near the Madhya Badda U-loop. Students took to the streets in the Badda area. To disperse the protesters and control the situation, the police fired sound grenades. The agitated students and the public started throwing bricks and stones at the police, which further escalated the tension. Later, the police opened fire to disperse the protesters. A police bullet hit Liton in the head. The bullet entered one side and exited the other. Liton's brother was with him at the time, but due to the chaotic situation, they couldn't take him to the hospital. When the situation calmed down a bit, he was taken to the hospital. Although he was given oxygen, he could not be saved due to excessive blood loss. Shortly after, Martyr Liton departed to Almighty Allah.
