Canada Road Crash: Kumar Bishwajit’s son still not out of danger

Kumar Nibir, son of singer Kumar Bishwajit, is still in critical condition, while the families of the other three deceased Bangladeshi students in the fatal Toronto road crash have started the process of bringing the bodies back home.

Singer Kumar Bishwajit, along with his wife Naima Sultana, rushed to Canada after receiving the news of the accident, in which their son was critically injured.

They reached Toronto around 11:30pm (Bangladesh time) on Wednesday, according to the family.

About the updates from doctors, Bishwajit said, "Nibir still has to undergo two stages of intensive treatment. By the grace of God, if we can cross these two stages perfectly, then I will be able to say that things have been 100 percent successful."

Meanwhile, the process of bringing back the bodies of the other three Bangladeshi students, who died in the road accident in Toronto on Monday night, has begun.

The deceased are Shahriar Khan, Angela Barai and Aryan Dipta.

All four, including Nibir, are students of Humber College.

Shahriar's father Sharif Khan yesterday told The Daily Star, "The procedure of preparing necessary documents to bring the bodies back to the country is almost complete. Their bodies are likely to reach here on a Biman flight next Sunday."

Bangladeshi expatriate journalist Shaogat Ali Sagar told The Daily Star yesterday that Angela Barai's father is going to Canada to receive his daughter's body. Local police have already given the clearance in this regard.

The accident took place on Monday night, local media CP24 reported, citing the Highway Safety Division of Canada's Ontario Provincial Police.
