DMCH staff killed in road accident
An employee of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) was run over by a speeding bus while crossing the road at Bangla Motor in the city yesterday.
The deceased was identified as Rafiqul Islam Sarder, 60, a class-IV employee of DMCH.
Witnesses said Rafiqul was crossing Kazi Nazrul Islam avenue near Bangla Motor point at around 12:00noon when a Shahbagh-bound bus, Shikar Paribahan, crushed him to death.
The driver tried to flee but had to stop in front of Sheraton traffic signal where the bus passengers and pedestrians caught the driver and his helper, they said.
Rafiqul's grandson Khokon told The Daily Star that his grandfather came out from his Eskaton residence to say Juma prayers at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) mosque.
Rafiqul was recently transferred to DMCH from BSMMU.
Shiblee Noman, officer in-charge (OC) of Ramna Police Station, said they arrested the driver and seized the bus.
