He received training at the Chakuria military camp in India. Taking position at the Sikarpur sub-sector action camp, Shah Alam (72) took part in various operations along the border belt. He later led various battles of Daulatpur upazila and served as commander of Daulatpur thana during the war. After the war ended, he served as in-charge of Daulatpur thana. He was a first-class contractor.
In the national election of 1970, he contested against Shah Azizur Rahman.
The home of the brave freedom fighter Shah Alam is in Nazibpur village of Khalishakundi union in Daulatpur upazila of Kushtia. He was the fourth of the five sons of the late Abdus Sobhan. Of his five sons, four, including Shah Alam, took part in the great Liberation War. They are Moinul Haque, Idris Ali, Shah Alam and Jaglul Kabir. Although the eldest, Palan Hossain, did not take part in the Liberation War, he worked on its side, helping the freedom fighters in various ways. The eldest brother, Palan Hossain, has passed away, but the other three brothers still live in Nazibpur. Freedom fighter Shah Alam was long involved in a pharmacy business in Kushtia town under the name Bara Gangdia Medical Store.
When Daulatpur was freed of the occupying forces on 4 December 1971, the freedom fighters, led by freedom fighter Shah Alam, hoisted the victory flag on the Daulatpur thana premises and declared Daulatpur free.
Speaking about freedom fighter Shah Alam, Daulatpur freedom fighter commander Kamal Hossain Debir said that Shah Alam was a front-rank freedom fighter of Daulatpur. Under his leadership, the Liberation War was organised in various places of Daulatpur. At the same time, he took charge of Daulatpur thana. Until the government of independent Bangladesh assumed the responsibility of running the state, freedom fighter Shah Alam served as the then in-charge of Daulatpur thana. He was a courageous freedom fighter.
Former Kushtia freedom fighter commander Nasim Uddin said that Shah Alam was the freedom fighter commander of Daulatpur upazila. His contribution to the great Liberation War was outstanding. The people of Kushtia know him simply as guerrilla Shah Alam. The nation will never forget what he contributed. We were deeply pained to hear the news that this brave soldier, who had long lived in America, had been seriously injured in a terrorist attack. We, along with all the freedom fighters of Kushtia, are praying for his recovery. He also said that a large prayer gathering would be organised within the next few days to pray for his good health. As a freedom fighter, however, I demand that the government of Bangladesh stand beside this brave freedom fighter.
It is learned that on 27 September, this veteran freedom fighter fell victim to a terrorist attack (a hate crime) on his way home from Jackson Heights to his own house in Jamaica. Black criminals in America attacked him indiscriminately, seriously wounded him and fled, all over a trivial mobile phone. He was later admitted, unconscious, to the Elmhurst Hospital in Jackson Heights. To this day he has been undergoing treatment in that same hospital. His condition is not yet out of danger. He is a resident of South Road in Jamaica, Queens.
