A youth died and another man was injured after a bus hit a rickshaw near Pantha Kunja Park in Dhaka early this morning.
The deceased was identified as Arian Ibrahim (20), manager of Al Bukhari Restaurant in Old Dhaka.
He was on the rickshaw, heading towards Karwan Bazar to buy vegetables for the restaurant, when an unidentified bus hit it from behind around 4am, police and his coworker said.
Ibrahim fell on the road on impact, leaving him critically injured. He was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him dead around 4:45am, said Sub-Inspector Shahabuddin of Shahbagh Police Station.

The bus driver sped up and police are trying to identify the vehicle.
Hailing from Barishal, Ibrahim lived in the restaurant after work. He was preparing to go to Saudi Arabia within a couple of weeks, his co-worker Abdullah said.
The body was sent to the hospital morgue for autopsy.
