Mobin’s treatment stalls due to lack of funds

Mobin Hossain, a 17-year-old from Shariatpur, lost his eyesight and hearing in one ear after being shot during the Anti-discrimination Student Movement in Dhaka. His medical treatment has come to a standstill due to financial constraints.

Doctors said Mobin could regain his vision and hearing if he could pay a total of Tk 300,000 to Tk 400,000.

In such a situation, Mobin, a shop employee, has sought assistance from the public.

Mobin, hailing from Boro Sidhalkura village in Shidulkura Union of Shariatpur's Damudya Upazila, is the son of the late Mofazzal Hossain.

On 18 Jul, he was injured in a police shooting during the Anti-discrimination Student Movement near Rajlakshmi in Dhaka's Uttara.

Family members said that Mobin's father died five months ago, leaving his mother, Nazma Begum, in a dire situation with their three sons, including a younger son who is disabled.

Following advice and support from relatives, the eldest son, Nazmul Huda Palash, took up a job as a driver, while Mobin joined a computer shop in Uttara. Their earnings kept the family afloat.

On Jul 18, Mobin went to his workplace, a computer shop on Road No. 2 in Uttara, owned by Md Wasim Talukder. At that time, the Anti-discrimination Student Movement was at its peak across the capital.
Mobin closed the shop and joined the student procession.

As the procession approached Uttara Police Station, police fired indiscriminately from inside the station.

A bullet entered through Mobin's left ear and exited through the right ear, while shotgun pellets injured both his eyes and his head.

Protesters took Mobin to a local hospital in Uttara.

Upon hearing the news, his family rushed him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, but he continued to experience bleeding in the head.

Due to a lack of funds, Mobin has been unable to return to the hospital and is currently at home.

Mobin, who lost his eyesight, told bdnews24.com: "Shortly after entering the shop that day, the quota reform procession began. I closed the shop and joined the student march."

"When the procession reached near the police station, my ears and eyes were injured by the gunfire. I was first taken to Kuwait Maitri Hospital and then admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital."

Mobin has appealed to the public, including the protestors, for support to regain his vision and hearing.
