As the rain soaked her through, cascading like tears from a grieving sky, it did nothing to dampen the searing fury and sorrow that burned deeply in her heart on that day. Adorned in a black salwar kameez with a bright red scarf draped around her neck, her eyes blazed with fierce determination as she denounced the horrific acts sanctioned by the tyrannical regime.

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Star, Jeetu reflected on the events that compelled him to speak out. "I was deeply disturbed by a photo of a bloodied female student, from Dhaka University, circulating on social media. The image struck me hard, especially because I have a daughter. I couldn’t help but think, what if that had been her? The thought of such violence against women was unbearable," he said.
