Our Correspondent, Nilphamari
Dimla police have filed a case in connection with the killing of school student Kajol by a vehicle in the motorcade of Awami League Chief Sheikh Hasina during her recent visit to the area.

The case (No 13) was filed on Thursday by Dimla thana officer-in-charge Abdul Hamid, but no accused was named.

The mishap took place when Sheikh Hasina was going to Chatani Colony High School ground in Dimla to attend a public meeting. She was on a four-day visit to the monga-affected areas.

Witnesses said Kajol and his friend Pear Ali were resetting their bi-cycle chain beside the road.

A microbus at the end of the motorcade hit them. The witnesses said the bi-cycle got entangled with the rear bumper of the vehicle but it did not stop. A rickshaw van puller Akbar Ali and teenager Moni took Kajol to Dimla upazila health complex in a critical condition. As his condition deteriorated, he was shifted to Rangpur Medical College Hospital where he died the same night.
