Description of the Incident
In 2024, the anti-discrimination student movement started in protest of quota reform in July. Students peacefully continued to agitate for the reform of the illogical 56 percent quota. On the 14th, the illegal Hasina insulted the students by calling them Razakars. Then the intensity of the movement became more vigorous. At three o'clock in the afternoon at Dhaka University, students from Dhaka University, Jagannath University and surrounding areas gathered at the foot of Raju sculpture. On the 15th, killer Obaidul Quader was told to give special powers to Chhatra League to suppress the students in a peaceful rally. Later, when the students came out with a protest rally, the terrorist and street urchin forces of Chhatra League attacked the students with heavy weapons. Along with the students, numerous female students were also severely injured.
The government then used the police force. Students were evicted from the halls by administrative power. Campuses were closed across the country. On the 16th, Hasina's instigated police league martyred 6 people including Shaheed Abu Sayeed. Then Chhatra League terrorist force, Jubo League militant force, police armed force and other forces started firing indiscriminately. They shut down internet services across the country to hide their misdeeds. Because of this heinous crime, parents, lawyers, journalists and common people gradually joined the students. Police force and other forces not only fired directly from the front but also fired from the sky through helicopters.
People of all levels, from infants to elderly citizens, were martyred. About a thousand students and people were brutally shot dead across the country. In addition, thousands of students and people were injured by rubber bullets, tear gas and sound grenades. And Shaheed Sujan was on the side of the students and people in this movement. He always protested against injustice. He was respected by everyone for his courageous stand. On July 20, 2024, at 8:30 pm, Sujan was returning home from his workplace. As he approached Beribadh in Mohammadpur, a protest was going on. Police fired indiscriminately at the students and the public. Unfortunately, a bullet entered through one side of his rib cage and exited through the other side. Sujan immediately fell to the ground. His fellow protesters quickly took him to Suhrawardy Medical College and the doctor declared him dead.
Family's economic condition and what to do

Due to the martyrdom of the only officer, their family has been plunged into grief and suffering. Currently, they are struggling to run their family.
