It was Friday, July 19, 2024. Nabin Talukdar was taking preparations along with his son to attend the Jummah prayers at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in the capital’s Paltan area.
At that time, Nabin asked his son to join the Friday prayers at a nearby mosque close to their rented house, reports BSS.
“Tomorrow we’ll play cricket together,” were Nabin’s final words to his son before leaving the house to say his prayers at the National Mosque. He never returned home after that.
Nabin Talukdar, 40-year-old stationery shop and nursery business owner, was reportedly shot dead by police during the anti-discrimination student-protest in Dhaka’s Paltan area. He had been living in the Shyampur area with his elderly mother, wife, and two children.
Nabin, son of late Fakhrul Islam Dhola Talukdar and Shahida Begum (60) of Baufal Upazila of the district, was a joint convener of the upazila Jubo Dal, the youth wing of the BNP.
His wife, Ruma Akter (39), is a housewife. His children — Hazera Talukdar Ruhanah (15) and Nurnabi Talukdar Rohan (15) — are both in 9th grade.
