Three young men riding a motorcycle were killed after being hit by a bus in Shibpur, Narsingdi. The accident occurred around 11:00 PM on Monday (June 9) near the Bandaradia petrol pump on the Itakhola-Shibpur regional road.
The deceased were identified as Saiful Islam (22), son of Jamal Uddin; Ashiq (22), son of Badruddin; and Apu (20), son of Babul Mia — all residents of Mirzakandi village in Machimpur Union of Shibpur upazila.
According to police, fire service officials, and eyewitnesses, the three friends had gone to Narsingdi to buy sports equipment. On their way back home, a bus coming from the opposite direction rammed into their motorcycle near the petrol pump, leaving all three critically injured. Fire service personnel rushed them to Shibpur Upazila Health Complex, where doctors declared Saiful and Ashiq dead. Apu was referred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital but died en route.
Obaidul Haque, a friend of the victims, said the three were regular sports enthusiasts. They had gone to buy equipment for their game when the fatal accident occurred.
Ismail, supervisor of Shibpur Fire Service, said, “We rushed to the scene after receiving the call and transported the injured to the hospital. Two were declared dead upon arrival, and the third was sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.”
Hosne Ara Begum, duty officer at Shibpur Model Police Station, confirmed the incident. “Three people were killed in the road accident on Monday. Their bodies are currently at the station, and preparations are underway to send them to the morgue,” she said.
