At the time of passing, the young Bangladesh national was just one instalment away from repaying the debt he had incurred to work in Singapore.

Prior to arriving in Singapore, Shohel reportedly told his father to stop working, as he would provide for the family.

He was also extremely caring towards his other family members. The Give Asia funding page quoted one of his brothers who said that,

Brother took care of all our needs and would get us things even before we could ask for it.
