Ananta Jalil takes responsibilities of Rajib’s siblings
Businessman and former actor Ananta Jalil has taken responsibilities of the two younger brothers of Rajib Hossain, a college student who died following a road accident in Dhaka.
Talking to The Daily Star last night, Ananta said he called the duo to his office in Hemayetpur area of Savar yesterday. Rajib’s maternal aunt and uncle were also present during the meeting, he added.
“I feel very happy to take their responsibilities. They will live with their aunt and uncle. I will bear all the cost for them,” he said.
On April 3, Rajib, a third-year student of Government Titumir College in Dhaka, lost his right hand after it got stuck between two speeding buses trying to overtake each other in the capital's Bangla Motor area. He also suffered brain haemorrhage in the accident. He died in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) on April 16.
After the tragic death of Rajib, Ananta on his verified Facebook page on April 17 expressed his willingness to take the responsibilities of his younger brothers Mehedi Hasan Bappi and Abdullah Hridoy, who lost their parents long ago.
Besides, Social Welfare Minister Rashed Khan Menon, at a press conference on April 18, said the government will bear all educational expenses of the two younger brothers of Rajib.
Rajib was a guardian to his younger brothers after the death of their father in 2007.
Their mother had died when Rajib was only eight years old and the youngest brother was just 10 months. They had all been looked after by extended family members.
