Schoolboy run over
A five-year-old schoolboy was killed and his seven-year old elder brother seriously injured in a road accident at Hotapara in the district yesterday.
The accident occurred around 4:00pm when a speeding bus hit them while they were crossing the Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway.
Sujon died on the spot and Yasin was rushed to the district sadar hospital. Sujon, son of Sobhan, was a student of class one at a local primary school.
After the accident, agitating people put up barricades on Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway resulting in suspension of the traffic movement for about one hour. Later police rushed in and brought the situation under control.
Hotapara Police Outpost duty officer SI Kamal Hossain said the driver was arrested along with the bus.
