Army chief General Waker-uz-Zaman on Monday presented a financial assistance cheque to the family of July martyr Abu Sayed, who lost his life during the July uprising.
According to a Facebook post on the Bangladesh Army’s verified page, unarmed Abu Sayed was killed in police firing during the movement, in Rangpur, on July 16.
"His selfless sacrifice for the motherland will be remembered forever," the post reads.
On December 10, Abu Sayed’s father suffered a cardiac arrest and was airlifted from Rangpur to the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in an army helicopter for emergency treatment. He later recovered.
Responding to an invitation from the army chief, Abu Sayed’s father attended an iftar event on Sunday, hosted in honour of those injured in the July uprising.
