Md. Rakib Hasan

Md. Rakib Hasan was a bright and cheerful 12-year-old boy. He was born in 2012 in Dakshin Narayanpur village of Isapur Union No. 4, Ramganj Thana, Lakshmipur District. Rakib was a talented seventh-grade student at Mohammadpur IT Jet School and College. Rakib was the third child of father Md. Abul Khayer (46) and mother Parveen Akhtar.
Shaheed Rakib, a seventh-grade student, whose football skills and interest in studies made him popular with his friends and teachers. From childhood, he was known for his intelligence, humility, and polite behavior. Their family land in the village is about 10 acres. But his father is the sole earner of the family. He works as an electrician in Dhaka North City Corporation. The martyr's family has been living in a rented house on Zakir Hossain Road, Mohammadpur for more than 43 years.
July 19th was like any other day. Shaheed Rakib left home at 4:30 PM to play. His destination was Kazi Nazrul Islam Road next to Mohammadpur Club, where he was preparing to play football as usual. But that day was the last day of his life. He faced an unexpected incident. While walking down the street, the police fired a bullet that hit him directly in the head. The bullet entered his head from the front and exited from the back. He fell to the ground immediately from the bullet wound. At that moment, his lively eyes closed forever.
Passersby quickly took him to the City Hospital, but due to his critical condition, he was transferred to the Neuro Science Hospital. There, at 9 PM, the doctor on duty declared him dead. Family, friends, and neighbors were shocked by the martyr's death. No one could accept his sudden death.
On July 20, his funeral was held in the village. He was laid to rest in the family graveyard in Lakshmipur at 11 PM. Village neighbor Kalam Hossain, who knew the martyr from childhood, said, "The martyr was a very good boy. He was very attentive to his studies from an early age, and he was also excellent at football. He will be remembered forever for being martyred in the anti-discrimination student movement. He used to greet us when he saw us. He was a very polite boy."
The martyr's death marked the end of an era. He was a promising young man whose talent was evident not only in football but also in his education. His death is an irreparable loss not only for his family but also for his school, playmates, and the entire society. Although the martyr has left us forever, his ideals, his humility, and his struggle will live forever in our hearts.
