Sanjoy Talapatra was a bright young student of Painting in the Department of Fine Arts at Chittagong University. However, on August 20, 1998, tragedy struck when he was on his way to catch the university train at Battali railway station. Sanjoy was attacked by an unknown terrorist and sustained a serious head injury. Despite receiving medical treatment, he sadly passed away on his 22nd birthday on August 22, 1998, leaving behind his devastated family.

Sanjoy was an only son and had a sister, and his loss was an irreplaceable blow to his family. It has been 11 years since his untimely death, yet there has been no investigation or action taken against the terrorist responsible for Sanjoy\’s death. His family and loved ones are still left with unanswered questions about why this tragedy occurred.

To honor Sanjoy\’s memory, an exhibition of his works was recently held. The opening talk was given by the Chairman of Fine Arts, Mr. Jasim Uddin, and was attended by Professor Abdullah Khalid, Monsur-ul-Karim, Dhali Al Mamun, Alak Roy, Mizanurrahim, Sayed Saiful Kabir, lecturer Alaptagin Tusar, Saila Sarmin Sathi, and all of Sanjoy\’s fellow students. The event was marked by a solemn tone as everyone wore black badges to pay their respects to Sanjoy and his family.
