The state of Amin’s mother Anguri Begum was no exception as she, too, continued to mourn over the death, saying: “Where have you gone, my son? What will I do now without you?”
Anguri also seconded her spouse’s demand of government intervention in bringing back the dead body.

The tragedy happened just a little over two months after she had been married off to 33-year-old Amin Miah.
Ever since hearing the news of Amin’s death on Saturday night, the newly-married bride kept on fainting every now and then.
Amin was the son of Abdur Rahim Miah hailing from Dubail village under Delduar upazila of Tangail.
Visiting his house on Sunday, the Dhaka Tribune correspondent found Amin’s family members and close relatives were wailing after night-long laments.
The neighbours of Amin, who was the sole earning member of his family, were seen trying to console the grief-stricken family members.
“I am feeling so helpless now. It feels as if I just lost everything,” said Amin’s father, reduced to tears while talking to the correspondent.
“I plead to the government to help bring back my son’s body soon. I need nothing else, otherwise I will die,” he added.
Amin’s widow Happy said: “We got married on November 1 (2017). He went to Saudi Arabia in search of a better life, but ended up dying such a tragic death.”
“What do I do now? I do not even have any idea on how my coming days will pass,” said the grief-stricken woman, with growing uncertainty in her eyes.
