Heroic Act Amidst Tragedy: Sabrina Rahman’s Sacrifice
Sabrina Rahman, a recent resident of a new neighborhood with her husband Ishraq Islam and 18-month-old son Ibrahim, found herself in the midst of the chaos.
Witnessing a fellow tradesman being shot, she bravely diverted the gunman’s attention away from her child, throwing the stroller to the side.
Tragically, she lost her life in the process, but her actions saved her son.
Rahman’s act of heroism amidst the horror is a testament to the resilience and selflessness displayed by ordinary individuals in times of crisis.
