Martyr Faruq worked at a furniture shop in Chattogram's Sholashahar. He lived in a colony in Lalkhan Bazar with his wife and two children. Because of his work, he could not go home for lunch and regularly ate at a rice hotel named Bismillah Hotel. He ate there on the afternoon of July 16 as well. As he came out wiping his hands, he was shot and fell to the ground. Perhaps he could not even finish wiping his hands completely! He was not even wearing a good shirt at that time!

He was wearing the shirt that he wore when he came to the shop to work. Martyr Faruq's wife Sima Akter laments, saying, "No one talks about my husband because he was not a student, he was a worker. He worked at a furniture shop." Martyr Faruq's 8-year-old little daughter Fariha often says, "Abmu, they talk about Abu Sayed, Wasim, Mugdho, why don't they talk about my father?"
