Haroon Habib, the secretary general of the Sector Commanders Forum, said Osman’s daughter Nasima Osman informed him about the test result in the night. Born in Chandpur’s Faridganj on Jan 1, 1936, Osman was commissioned in the Pakistan Army in 1958 after passing BA at Cumilla Victoria College. When the Pakistan Army launched the genocide of the Bengalis in Dhaka on Mar 25 night in 1971, Osman was in Kushtia, working as the commander of the East Pakistan Rifle’s fourth wing in Chuadanga. Osman played a key role in the formation of Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee, which was formed to demand justice for the 1971 war atrocities. When the Awami League government came to power in 1996, Osman was made chairman of Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation.
