Celebration echoed through the corridors of Notre Dame College yesterday as students basked in the glory of their success. Yet, in one quiet corner, a different emotion unfolded. Morshedul Amin stood alone, phone in hand, eyes filled with tears. His voice trembled as he kept on whispering, "My son Junaed got GPA-5…" Just 20 days earlier, on September 27, Junaed Amin Sardar Dalim had gone to visit his uncle's house. A boat ride with friends turned tragic when he fell into the river.
