Md Abdullah, a college student who was shot during the Anti-discrimination Student Movement protests on Aug 5, has died at a hospital in Dhaka, reports bdnews24.com.
He died at 7:30am on Thursday while undergoing treatment at the Dhaka Combined Military Hospital, said Abdullah's father Abdul Jabbar.
The 23-year-old was a political science student at Government Shahid Suhrawardy College. His family hail from Jashore's Benapole.
"On Oct 10, doctors performed a surgery on him at CMH," Jabbar said. "The operation was a success. A few days after the surgery, my son was walking alongside me. We ate together. Then, 20-22 days ago, he fell sick again. This morning, he went away for good."
Sub-Inspector Moniruzzaman of the Cantonment Police Station said Abdullah's body had been taken from the CMH to Suhrawardy Hospital for an autopsy.
Abdullah took an active part in the anti-quota protests, which began in July and eventually transformed into a movement that toppled the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government.
On Aug 5, the day Hasina fled the country for India, Abdullah was shot in the head outside the Bangshal Police Station in Dhaka's Tantibazar intersection.
He was lying on the road for two to three hours before he was taken first to Mitford Hospital and then to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
After an operation that night, doctors assured that he was healthy. A few days later, after he was released, his family took him home.
He was admitted to DMCH again when his condition deteriorated. Then, he was transferred to the CMH for advanced treatment on Aug 22. There, he underwent surgery as well and eventually died.
