Thriller Series 'Tin Goyenda' Creator Rakib Hasan No More

Rakib Hasan, the creator and author of the famous teenage thriller series 'Tin Goyenda', breathed his last while undergoing treatment at Gonoshasthya Nagar Hospital in the capital’s Dhanmondi on Wednesday afternoon. 

Gonoshasthya Community Medical College Vice-Principal Dr Mohibullah Khondakar said that he (Rakib Hasan) regularly visited our hospital for kidney dialysis. He came today as well, but passed away shortly before the procedure began.

Rakib Hasan began his literary career with Seva Prakashani, translating world-class classics, and gradually wrote over 400 books under various names. 

He created popular series such as Tarzan, Goyenda Raju, Reza-Suja and famous Tin Goyenda (Three Detectives). 

Though intensely private and media-shy, he earned a permanent place in the hearts of generations of readers as the creator of Tin Goyenda.

Rakib Hasan was born on 12 December 1950 in Cumilla, but spent his childhood in Feni due to his father’s job transfer. 

He completed his schooling in Feni before enrolling at Victoria College in Cumilla. 

After finishing his studies, he worked in several jobs but never felt satisfied. Unable to adapt to the 9-to-6 routine, he eventually left office life and pursued writing full-time.
