Md. Shoaeb Mia, aged 55 and father of July martyr Hafiz Imran from Nasirnagar, was killed in a road accident on Thursday afternoon while traveling to attend a BNP rally led by acting chairman Tarique Rahman in Sarail, Brahmanbaria. He was riding a motorcycle with a local student leader toward the rally at Kuttapara playground when a truck collided with their vehicle near the Puitta Bridge area, killing him on the spot.

Following the accident, people heading to the rally chased the truck by motorcycle and captured it along with the driver in the Kunda area. Goalanagar Union Parishad Chairman Azharul Haque Chowdhury confirmed receiving news of the incident and said he was in contact with the victim’s family and local administration. Nasirnagar Police Station Officer-in-Charge Shahinul Islam verified the accident occurred within Sarail Police Station’s jurisdiction and stated that police were investigating and taking necessary legal action.

The death has cast a shadow of grief over the area, as Shoaeb Mia’s son Hafiz Imran had been killed in 2024 during anti-government protests, marking a second tragedy for the family within a year.
