A photo of Abrar, along with a caption reading “Abrar Fahad is still alive in our freedom of speech”, is shown at the start of the video.
The subject matter of ‘Hiphop Police’ spans recent heinous murders and the corruption being reported in newspapers everyday.
Tabib recently told the press: “Music plays an important part in changing our society and I think hip hop plays an enormous role among all the genres. It cannot just send a message, it must create the sense of right and wrong among its listeners. And we want to move forward keeping that in mind.” Previous work of Rana's describing the stark realities of living as a child on the streets of Dhaka made him a social media sensation back in May. He's so-far released three rap videos, with each of the songs written by Mahmud Hasan Tabib from Dhaka University's Department of Arabic Language and Literature.

Abrar, a second-year student of electrical and electronic engineering at Buet, was beaten to death by several leaders and activists in the Buet unit of the Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of the ruling Awami League, on October 7.
The Chhatra League orchestrated the attack because it suspected that Abrar had some connection with the Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. That connection is yet to be proven.
Abrar’s father Barkat Ullah formally accused 19 Buet students of murder at Chawkbazar police station on October 7, in the evening. On Friday, the Buet authorities suspended the studentship of the 19 accused.
