== Birth and education ==

== Role and martyrdom in the liberation war ==
The Bengali EPR troops of [[Thakurgaon District|Thakurgaon]] Wing were perplexed. Because, at that time there were more than 120 non-Bengali army in that wing headquarters. Besides, there were some army soldiers there.<ref name=":0" />

In the end, the call of patriotism won. On the night of 28 March (then clockwise 29 March), the Bengali EPR troops, including Lilu Mia, revolted. The clash between [[Bengali people|Bengali]] and non-Bengali EPRs in the wing lasted till March 30. Most of the non-Bengali EPR and [[Pakistan Army|Pakistani army]] (about 115) were killed in the clashes.<ref name=":0" />

Then the [[Freedom fighter|EPR freedom fighters]] jumped into the war taking up positions in different places. One group formed defenses at Bhatgaon (23 miles before [[Thakurgaon District|Thakurgaon]]), one at [[Debiganj Upazila|Deviganj]], one at [[Shibganj Upazila, Bogra|Shibganj]]. Apart from this, they also set up defenses at [[Khansama Upazila|Khansama]], Jaiganj and [[Jharbaria|Jharbati]] on various roads connecting [[Thakurgaon District|Thakurgaon]] and [[Syedpur, Jagannathpur|Syedpur]].<ref name=":0" />

During the war of resistance, the [[freedom fighter]]s did not have field [[telephone]] or [[Wireless|wireless communication]] with each other. As a result, there is difficulty in communication between them. Runner was the only means of communication. Then sometimes the responsibility of this work is given to the fearless and tactful Lilu Mia. He performed this duty with courage along with the war.<ref name=":0" />

One day in the third week of April, Lilu Mia was going from one defence to another on a [[motorcycle]] while performing this duty. On the way, he was attacked by the [[Pakistan Army]] at a place named ''10 miles'' on the [[Dinajpur]]-[[Saidpur Upazila|Saidpur]] road. There were defence of the freedom fighters at ''10 miles''. But the freedom fighters left the defensive position a few days ago after admitting a lot of casualties due to the heavy attack of the [[Pakistan Army|Pakistan army]].<ref name=":0" />

Meanwhile, the news of the [[freedom fighter]]s from one defence to another has to reach through that area. Taking advantages of the leaving of freedom fighters in the area of ''10 miles'', the [[Pakistan Army|Pakistani army]] took place there. Occasionally, Pakistani helicopters fly in the sky in a short period. The responsibility of conveying the news fell on Lilu Mia. He did not give up not being even afraid. He went forward through that area without fear. But he did not succeed. The [[Pakistan Army|Pakistani army]] started firing at him. He was shot and fell to the ground. He gave his life doing his duty. He was martyred.<ref name=":0" />

The body of martyr Lilu Miah could not be recovered by his comrades. Later his body was buried there by the local villagers. They did not mark the place for fear of [[Pakistan Army|Pakistani army]]. His comrades did not find his body after [[independence]].<ref name=":0" />

== Career ==
Martyr Lilu Mia was working in the 9th Wing (now Battalion) of [[Dinajpur]] EPR Sector in 1971. His rank was [[Lance naik|Lance Naik]]. Wing Headquarters is located in [[Thakurgaon District|Thakurgaon town]]. He was posthumously awarded the title of [[Bir Bikram]] for his outstanding contribution in the [[Bangladesh Liberation War|war of liberation]], especially as a runner. According to the Gazette of 1973, his Heroism Review Number is 114.<ref name=":0" />
