An army man was killed as a steel pipe fell on his head from an under-construction building of Sylhet City Corporation on Saturday afternoon.

The deceased was identified as Lance Corporal Delowar Hossain, 25, hailed from Raipur village under Rangni upazila of Meherpur district. He was a member of the 50 Field Artillery of the 17 Infantry Division of the Bangladesh Army.
Quoting eyewitnesses, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Sylhet Metropolitan Police Sudip Das said a piece of iron pipe fell on the head of the army personnel from an under-construction building who was shopping at the open market around 2:00pm.

He was rushed to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital where the on-duty doctors declared him dead, he said.

He also said police detained nine persons involved with the construction work.

Meanwhile, the Sylhet City Corporation authorities formed a seven-member probe body, headed by SCC Chief Engineer Nur Azizur Rahman, to investigate the incident.

The committee has been asked to submit the probe report within 72 hours, said Abdul Alim Shah, public relations officer of the city corporation.
