Jamal Rosy was the daughter of Bangabandhu's younger sister
Khodeja Hossain, whose husband Syed Hossain was Cabinet
Secretary in Bangabandhu's Government. Having done her matriculation
from Dhanmondi Girls' School, Rosy was preparing for her
Higher Secondary Certificate examinations from Dhaka's Badrunnessa
College at the time of her assassination. The marks of 'Mehendi',
signs of her marriage to Sheikh Jamal a month earlier were
still on her palms on the day she died.
While a
student of Dhaka College, Jamal travelled to Yugoslavia
for military training under the auspices of the Yugoslav
army. Subsequently, he trained at Sandhurst Army Academy.
After the training he joined Bangladesh Army as a Commissioned
Officer. On July 17, 1975 he married his cousin Rosy. Both
were assassinated on August 15, 1975.
