Seventeen-year-old Hridoy Hossain, who was injured in police firing during the July uprising in Bauphal, Patuakhali, died while undergoing treatment at a local hospital. His father, Ansar Howlader, claimed the death was due to lack of adequate medical care. Hridoy, the youngest son of an autorickshaw driver, had been working as a construction laborer in Dhaka. After being shot on July 18 near Jatrabari Police Station, he was treated at Dhaka Medical for three months. Financial constraints forced his return home, where he was later admitted to the Upazila Hospital. He will be buried in his village after his funeral on Saturday. Local Jamaat leader Shafiqul Islam Masud expressed condolences.
