Three friends riding a motorcycle were killed in a road crash in the Nawpara bus stand area of the Bhanga–Tekerhat highway in Bhanga upazila, Faridpur, on Saturday night. The victims were Chayan Mollah, son of Dalil Uddin Mollah; Nayan, son of Enayet; and Sajib Sheikh, son of Azgar Sheikh, all from Laskardia in Nagarkanda upazila.

Police and local sources said the three friends had travelled from Nagarkanda to Bhanga’s Golchattar on Saturday afternoon. After viewing the flyover’s neon lights at night, they began their journey home. Their motorcycle met with an accident near Nawpara bus stand, throwing all three riders onto the road. Driver Chayan died at the scene, while Nayan and Sajib were seriously injured.

Highway police, assisted by local residents, recovered Chayan’s body and took the two injured men to Bhanga Upazila Health Complex. As their conditions worsened, they were transferred that night to Faridpur Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College Hospital. Relatives later headed toward Dhaka Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment. One died on the way and the other died while receiving treatment. Bhanga Highway Police Station officer-in-charge Md Helal Uddin confirmed the incident.
