Tanjim Siam, a young Bangladeshi man, died after being shot and undergoing treatment for 40 days in Boston, USA.
He died at the Massachusetts General Hospital around 10 a.m. Saturday (August 22), local time in the United States.
On July 14, at around 9 pm, a miscreant named Stephen Samuel (25) entered a Bangladeshi-owned grocery store in Roxbury near Boston, Massachusetts, USA and took Tanzim Siam (23) hostage at gunpoint and snatched various items and money. He later fired two shots at Siam as he was leaving the store. Upon receiving the news, the police reached the spot and rushed the seriously injured Siam to the Massachusetts General Hospital.
Boston police arrested Stephen Samuel (25) three weeks later in the face of continued protests by expatriate Bangladeshis in Boston. Stephen was later charged with armed robbery and armed assault with intent to murder.
Note that Tanzim Siam immigrated to the United States this year on a student visa. Before starting his studies, he started working at a Bangladeshi-owned grocery store called M&R Convenience Store in Roxbury, near Boston, four months ago to help support his family. Siam has been in a coma at the hospital since he was shot on July 14.
Meanwhile, two brothers, including Tanzim's parents, came to the United States from Bangladesh on August 3 to see Tanzim Siam, who was seriously injured in the robbery. The house of the deceased Tanjim Siam is in Noakhali district of Bangladesh.
