Tragic story of Moniruzzaman
Mohammad Moniruzzaman was born in 1965 of Village Lasker Para, District- Narial, Bangladesh. His father Daoud Molla is a well established farmer. Moniruzzaman leads a comfortable life by the income of cultivating his land and earns a handsome amount by working in Transport Association Co. He established his leadership in the community and used to participate in local arbitration for mitigating and solving disputes.
One day he was coming from a local Bazar with his neighbor. On their way his neighbor was attacked by a group of terrorist and they shot him dead. He was overwhelmed with the situation. The terrorist had previous enmity with his neighbor.
He was the only eye witness for the brutal murder. Killers targeted him to finish the only eye witness. They were looking for the opportunity.
Killers tried to compromise with the victim’s wife by giving money and asked Moniruzzaman’s to negotiate. But he ignored.
They made false friendship with Moniruzzaman so that he will not suspect them. Two years have passed with their mutual living.
On 4th April 2007, he was requested by them to attend a arbitrary meeting at 7.30 P.M . Moniruzzaman went there and started discussion with them. He did not understand that he was in trap. All on a sudden two of them jumped and laid him down in the ground. Moniruzzaman tried to protect him but failed as he was alone. Two of them started chopping at random in his body. Suddenly he suppressed one killer on his chest very strongly and saved his chest by holding him. So that the terrorist could not chop his upper part. They chopped his two legs, hands, fingers and lower parts of the body. By Miracle one hand of the killer was separated by their knife who was grabbed by Moriruzzaman.
Hearing his shouting many people came over the spot. Moniruzzamna was senseless and seemed he was dead. His whole body was blooded. Moniruzzamna’s family heard the news and rushed him to Khulna orthopedic hospital. His two legs were amputated and got treatment there. His condition was deteriorating and finally he was advised to shift National orthopedic Hospital, Dhaka for better treatment. He had been there for four months and got surgical operation for his hands and 45 stabbing wounds. One of the Doctor of the Hospital told him to go to Nalta Prosthetic & Orthotic Center for artificial limb fitting for his two legs. Accordingly he came to our center on 15 November 2007 .We made two below knee fittings for him . Now he can walk independently and able to maintain his daily work.
