A 16-year-old school student named Siam was killed and another person injured when a truck struck a battery-run rickshaw in Dhaka’s Shyampur Shmashan Ghat area late Monday night. The accident occurred around 11:45 p.m. as Siam and three friends were out riding to celebrate Victory Day. Siam, a sixth-grade student and son of Jahangir Hossain from Cumilla, lived with his family in Gendaria.
Police confirmed that the truck involved in the collision was seized and its driver, Abdul Kader, was detained shortly after the incident. A case has been filed at Shyampur Police Station, and Siam’s body was sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for autopsy around 2:30 a.m. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.
The fatal accident highlights ongoing concerns about road safety in Dhaka, where reckless driving and poor enforcement frequently lead to casualties. Officials said further legal action will follow once the investigation report is complete.
