Father of two children (16-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter), owned a shop in Arak. Shot directly with a war bullet by Islamic Republic forces in front of Vali-e Asr Hospital in Arak around 8:15 PM on Friday. The bullet hit his abdomen area and caused his death. Evidence of the bullet impact was clearly visible on his jacket - holes and burns from the war bullet remained on his clothes, indicating direct shooting from close range or with high power. After his killing, his family was pressured and threatened to confirm the government's official narrative about his death, with threats that his children would be deprived of continuing their education if they opposed or told the real story. Despite being from Arak, his body was not allowed to be buried in the city's cemetery. His burial ceremony was held three days later on Tuesday in Qaniaro village near Arak under special conditions and restrictions.
