The family members of Munsurul Amin are spending their days in extreme uncertainty and anxiety. Munsurul Amin Khan is working as the Chief Officer (Captain) on the Bengal Prosperity Ship. He is the son of Selim Khan of Narkeltala area of Satkhira city.
It is learned that Munsurul Amin Khan joined the service as the Chief Officer (Captain) of the ship 18 years ago. He last came home three months ago. Munsurul was known as 'Guinea' in his area. Munsurul Amin has three sons. Fahimi and Farhan (10) are twin brothers. The youngest son Fardin is three years old. The twin boys are fourth graders. Munsurul Amin's family members have demanded a government initiative to bring all Bangladeshis back to the country safely, including Munsurul Amin, the sole breadwinner of the family.
His father Selim Khan said that Captain Mansurul Amin Khan sent news to his home after being trapped in Ukraine during the war. At the time, he said, Guinea had spoken at home on Thursday evening.

His mother and wife have been crying for him all day.
Ashkura Sultana, wife of Munsurul Amin, quoted her husband as saying, The ship's third engineer died. The deck of the ship is wrecked. The radar is not working either. The ship is also in fuel crisis. However, the food crisis is not over yet, said Munsurul Amin. The body of third engineer Hadisur Rahman has been burnt to ashes. His death is afflicting us. However, his body is still in the ship. No power supply. Emergency power supply is somewhat limited. And we're in panic, will there be another attack later? "
