'After being shot, the policeman stood on his chest and drew blood from his mouth'

Garment worker Nabi Hossain (20) could not sit at home after seeing hundreds of students die in the anti-discrimination movement. He is the son of Nasir Jamal of Daupur village of Barhatta Upazila Bausi Union of Netrokona.

Nabi Hossain participated in the movement of Gazipur on August 4 and took part in liberating the people of the country from the dictator with numerous bullets. Nabi Hossain is not getting better treatment due to lack of money. So last few days his family members brought him home from Mymensingh Medical College Hospital. So far many have contacted him, but he has not received any real support.

On Thursday, he went to Barhatta Upazila Health Complex to open the chest stitches and get better treatment. Rabi Alam, the doctor on duty, saw his body and said that Nabi Hussain's body was penetrated by many bullets. It is not possible to find them yet. He will not recover if the bullet does not come out.

Nabi Hussain while describing the horrific time on August 4 said, “I could not sit at home seeing students being shot at unjustly.” I agree with their demands and join the movement with them. When we gathered in Gazipur area, the police opened fire on me. I was shot and fell to the ground bleeding. At that time, eight or nine policemen continued to beat me indiscriminately. At one point hit my fingers and toes with boots.

A policeman stood on my chest and forced the blood out of his mouth. I was beaten like this for an hour and a half. Then they covered me with a blanket thinking I was dead.

At one point, when I regained consciousness, when I screamed at the people around me, they rescued me and took me to Joydavpur Hospital. They send me away without treating me there. Then my elder brother Raja Hassan took me to Dhaka Uttara Private Hospital. They kept me in ICO for two days. After these two days, when I was unable to pay the heavy bill, I went to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital with Tk 50,000. So far I have spent about 2 lakh rupees.

Jamal Hossain, Nabi Hossain's elder brother, said that after taking the patient to Barhatta Hospital, they asked to take the patient to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital.

Barhatta upazila executive officer Farzana Akhter Bobby said, none of his family has contacted me.

Dr. Barhatta Upazila Health Officer. Mastafizur Rahman said, the condition of the patient is very weak. His body contains many rubber bullets. The patient has been referred to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital for extraction of the bullets and advanced treatment.
