Ranchi: A 16-year-old boy Mohammad Mudassir Alam who was recently killed in alleged police firing during protests in Ranchi against controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammed, scored 66 percent in class 10 exams.
As per the results declared on Tuesday, Alam emerged as one of 225, 854 students who secured first division in the exam.
Alam fought against all odds
He belonged to a poor family. His father, Mohammed Parvez Alam is a vegetable vendor. He along with his parents used to reside in a one-room residence.
Despite poverty, he managed to secure first division but unfortunately, the result was released after his death.
After Alam’s death, his mother Nikhat Parween questioned, “why did they kill my only son? How can I live without him? He just took his matriculation examination this year and his result was to be declared this week”.
Speaking to Aaj Tak, Nikhat Parween had questioned, “Is raising slogan, ‘Islam Zindabad is a crime?’. Saying that ‘Islam zindabad tha, Islam zindabad hai, Islam zindabad rahinga’, she held Modi-government responsible for the death of her son”.
Parween also said, “I am proud of my son who sacrificed his life for Islam. He has laid his life for the Prophet”. “No power in this world can stop Islam”, she added.
Speaking to BBC Hindi, Parween had recalled the last phone conversation with her son. She said, “I was speaking to him. He said ‘mummy please disconnect the call, I am getting out of here’”. “However, sometime later his friend called me to inform that Alam was shot”, Parween said.
