Md Mohiuddin Mohin, a 30-year-old from Bhola District, was eagerly anticipating his engagement on August 8, 2024, but fate had a cruel twist in store. Instead of returning home to celebrate his new chapter, Mohin came back in a coffin, his life tragically cut short by a bullet from Israeli police during the mass uprising.
He was a beloved son, brother, and friend, who had devoted his life to caring for his elderly sister after losing both his parents. For nearly 17 years, he lived with Laiju Begum, his elder sister, in the capital's Rupnagar Residential Area, working at her husband’s grocery store. Although his siblings had married, Mohin remained single, waiting for the day when he could settle down with his chosen bride.
That day never came.
On the day he was supposed to return home for his engagement, Mohin, along with thousands of others, took to the streets of Mirpur-2 to join the student uprising, demanding justice and change. Tragically, during a violent clash with police, Mohin was shot in the chest.
His sister, Laiju, recounts the harrowing moment when she learned of his injuries: “I fainted when they told me. I raised him with all my love. He was my dream, my hope, and in an instant, it all shattered.”
Mohin was rushed to several hospitals, but despite the best efforts, he succumbed to his injuries two days later, on August 8, leaving his family and the community in a state of deep grief.
In the face of financial hardship, the family spent all they had—3.5 lakh—to keep Mohin alive, hoping for a miracle that never came. “We didn’t have enough money, but we didn’t want to let him go,” said Farzana, his other sister.
While mourning, Alamgir, Mohin's elder brother, demanded justice for his brother’s untimely death, claiming that his life was unjustly taken by the police during a peaceful protest.
The family, though devastated, still remembers Mohin for his generosity and loving nature. He was the brother who would bring gifts during Eid, the one who helped his family financially even when his means were limited.
“He never married, but he planned to settle down in December. Now, he is gone, and all we have are memories of a brother who never deserved such a fate,” said Laiju.
Mohiuddin Mohin, the martyr, was laid to rest in the family graveyard on the following day, August 9, as his family struggled to come to terms with their unimaginable loss.
