Man dies after 'falling from building'
A man died after apparently falling from an under-construction building in the capital's Kathalbagan early yesterday.
The deceased was identified as Mohammad Rakib, 23, a grocer hailing from Sonargaon in Narayanganj.
Rehana Begum, mother of the victim, told reporters at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) that her son was addicted to drugs.
"One of our neighbours informed me that my son fell down from an under-construction building. Hearing the news I rushed to the spot and found my son lying on the road beside the building," she said.
Rakib was rushed to DMCH where doctors declared him dead.
However, Asgar Ali, a sub-inspector of Kalabagan Police Station, told The Daily Star that Rakib might have died of drug overdose as there was no large injury mark on the body indicating that he had fallen from the building.
An autopsy report is pending.
