The question of Saiful Islam Alif's mother! What did my son do wrong?
Father Jamal Uddin and mother Hosne Ara are distraught after losing their son, lawyer Saiful Islam Alif. No one could have imagined that Alif would have to leave this world without seeing the face of his unborn child. Three-year-old Taskia. Lawyer Saiful Islam. He has not seen his father for two days. There is a question in his eyes as if the state is asking. Seeing the crowd of people at home, he looks around. He searches for his father's face.
Alif was brutally murdered in Chittagong on Tuesday afternoon. He was first beaten with sticks and bricks. His skull and one leg were broken. Then he was repeatedly beaten on the back and neck to ensure his death. In a video that went viral in the incident, a young woman can be heard screaming from a nearby building as he was being killed. But no one dared to come forward to save Alif due to fear of the crazed killers. Meanwhile, Israt Jahan Tarin, his wife, who is four months pregnant, is going crazy after losing her husband. Lawyer Alif was the fourth of seven siblings. Father Jamal Uddin and mother Hosne Ara are also distraught after losing their child. No one could have imagined that Alif would have to leave this world without seeing the face of their unborn child.
In the viral video, the assailants can be seen beating Alif on the road inside the garbage dump. At that time, a young man wearing a helmet and an orange shirt is seen beating him. The others are hitting him with sticks and bricks. Later, Alif's lifeless body, wearing a white shirt and black pants, is seen lying on one side of the road.
Advocate Raihanul Wazed Chowdhury, who practices in the same chamber as Advocate Alif, told Jugantor that the lawyers saw Alif when the common people rescued him from the garbage dump and brought him to the main road. Later, after taking him to Chamek Hospital, the doctors declared him dead.
Alif's body was taken to his village home at 3:30 pm on Wednesday. The body was kept at the Faranga Paschim Kul Hazrat Abdul Latif Shah (RA) shrine ground in Chunati Union of the upazila under the guard of the army and police. At that time, the atmosphere became heavy with the wailing of relatives. A shadow of mourning descended. Immediately after the Asr prayers, his namaz-e-janaza was held and he was buried in the family graveyard.
Hasnat Abdullah, convener of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, and Sarjis Alam, general secretary of the July Shaheed Memorial Foundation, visited the deceased's village home to meet his family after Wednesday evening. They consoled the deceased's family and assured that those involved in Alif's murder would be brought to justice as soon as possible and the maximum punishment would be ensured.
When they went to Alif's house, they saw his mother Hosne Ara Begum crying and holding her chest. His father Jamal Uddin was silently shedding tears. His wife Israt Jahan Tarin was crying and fainting repeatedly. No one had any words to comfort them. Hosne Ara said, "My son did not see the face of his unborn child. What was his fault? He asked Allah to punish him for killing his son."
Alif's two-and-a-half-year-old child could not find the reason for so many people gathering at the house. He was running around. Taskia could not understand that her father was no more. She would never hug and kiss him again. Many people were seen hiding their tears while looking at the innocent child Taskia's face.
Saiful's elder brother Jane Alam said, "How can I comfort my brother's family, how can his family continue?" Advocate Arfatul Islam Chowdhury said, "Alif was my junior." But we were registered as lawyers together. Such a death is unacceptable. The large gathering of people at the funeral of a young lawyer shows how much he was loved.
Brigadier General Mohammad Taslim Uddin, Director of Chittagong Medical College Hospital, told Jugantor that lawyer Alif had two stab wounds on his body. His skull was fractured by a heavy object. It is initially believed that he died due to excessive bleeding.
