Quazi Amanullah, Khulna
She died showing a rare courage of braving bullets and bombs of miscreants to save her neighbour.
Parvez Howlader, 30, an activist of Awami League, died on the spot on the night of January 4 at Pabla Palpara under Daulatpur Police Station in Khulna city as miscreants sprayed bullets and threw bomb on him.
His neighbour Suparna Saha was fatally injured with bullets and bomb splinters as she tried to save him. She died on Friday while under treatment at Squire Hospital in Dhaka.
Twenty-three year old Shuparna Saha, was a final year student of MA in Social Science at Daulatpur Government BL University College. Shuparna was married to Rajib Saha only 16 months ago.
Hearing shots and bomb blasts, she rushed out of her house to save neighbour Parvez. Seeing the miscreants firing at him, she fervently appealed to them to stop.
But Shuparna fell down as a bullet hit her head. While fleeing after finishing the targeted killing, the miscreants exploded a bomb to confirm death of the AL activist. Bomb splinters also pierced into her head.
For Suparna, it was a rare show of courage and good neighbourliness.
She was cremated Saturday evening at her husband’s native village at Baroipara under Kalia upazila in Narail district.
Hundreds of men, women and children irrespective of caste and creed gathered to see the cremation.
Daulatpur police could not make any headway in investigation into the double murder case.
State Minister for Labour and Employment Begum Mannujan Sufian and Khulna City Corporation Mayor Talukder Abdul Khaleque went to the house of Shuparna Saha at Pabla to console her relatives.
