Abu Sufian, the rickshaw puller who was shot after taking part in the July mass uprising of the anti-discrimination student movement demanding the downfall of Sheikh Hasina, has also crossed over to the land of no return (Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun). He died while undergoing treatment at CMH hospital in the capital after fighting with death for almost two months.
This information was informed in a press release sent by the Central Sub-Committee on Health of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement on Tuesday (October 1).
