Aijaz Ahmed the youngest victim of Hyderabad twin blasts was the student of automobile engineering at Sanjay Gandhi memorial polytechnic college, located outside Hyderabad. He used to change three buses to get to his home from his collage. Dilsuknagar bus stop was the last stop before his home, located just 3 km away from the blast site.
Aijaz family never thought that Dilsuknagar bus stop will become his final stop of his life. He along with four of his group friends from college use to catch bus No.107 from Dilsuknagar bus stop. His two friends who got lucky that evening went to draw some money from the ATM. Aijaz and another of his friend became victim of the blast, which exploded in the same bus shelter they were waiting in.
Iqbal Ahmed said as soon as he got the news of bomb blasts in Dilsuknagar he called his son whose phone was shown switched off, then at 8:30 pm, he along with his worried wife and Aijaz mother Noorjahan rushed to the burned and devastated bus stop.
“There was wreckage in whole area, I screamed Aijaz, Aijaz, everywhere. His phone was switched off, but still then I didn’t lose my hope. Some people there advise me to visit Osmania Hospital as injured was taken there. When I reached the hospital I didn’t find my son in the injured persons block. Then I went into the dead bodies block, and found the second body was of my innocent son. I cannot do anything from there, my heart was shattered, I was unable to do anything,” said Iqbal hardly able to control his tears.
Breaking down with numb eyes, Iqbal said terrorists has taken his life, his reason to fight and survive every day’s ordeal of his hard labor life. Iqbal Ahmed said, “What happened to my son should not happen to anybody’s son. Whatever this people are doing by killing innocents is totally wrong, no one’s world should be destroyed like mine”.
Showing his agony towards ‘coward’ terrorists Iqbal Ahmed said, “If you want to do such things come in front of mine and fight with me openly.”
