Context of Martyrdom
August 4, 2024, was a terribly tragic day in Sabuj Mia's life. On this day, he gathered with friends at 1:30 PM in Sherpur city to participate in the ongoing anti-discrimination movement. They were preparing to join other members of the movement. Later, they took position in front of the Kharampur food warehouse. The situation suddenly turned violent. At this time, BGB and Chhatra League activists launched a surprise attack on the protesters. Panic spread everywhere, and the protesters began running to save their lives. Martyr Mohammad Sabuj Mia, unable to understand anything, also started running to save his life. Amidst this horrific situation, Chhatra League suddenly targeted Martyr Sabuj and fired. A bullet hit his head, instantly causing him severe injuries. The magistrate's car ran over the injured Sabuj's body. Due to these injuries, Sabuj collapsed to the ground and died on the spot before receiving any medical treatment.
Reactions of Relatives After Martyrdom
Martyr Sabuj's mother, Jorina Begum, said, "My son went to the student movement on August 4. He said, 'Mother, cook rice for me, I will come home and eat at night.' I told my son, 'Son, don't go to the movement.' Sabuj said, 'Mother, you are saying the same thing. If we don't protest, the Hasina government won't fall. It won't give jobs either.'
Later, his aunt came and informed me that Sabuj had been martyred. How will I live now? How will my family survive?" The family and locals demand a proper investigation and justice for the tragic death of Martyr Md. Sabuj Mia.
