A filling station manager was allegedly killed and another critically injured after a dispute over fuel escalated into a fatal incident in Narail Sadar upazila early Sunday.
Deceased Nahid Sardar, 35, was the manager of Tanvir Filling Station and a resident of Peroli village under Tularampur union.
Injured Jihadul Mollah, 29, has been transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital as his condition critical.
According to local sources, the incident occurred around 2:10AM on the Kalna-Jashore highway near the Tularampur rail bridge. Earlier in the night, an argument broke out between Nahid and a truck driver after the driver was reportedly unable to get fuel at the station.
CCTV footage shows that despite the altercation, the truck driver remained at the filling station. After completing work, Nahid left the station on a motorcycle with his colleague Jihadul. Shortly after, the truck was seen chasing them at high speed before running them over. Nahid died on the spot, while Jihadul sustained severe injuries. He was initially taken to a local hospital and later shifted to Dhaka for advanced treatment.
Filling station employees said that on Saturday night, a truck driver named Sujat came to Tanvir Filling Station to get petrol. An altercation ensued between him and Nahid over the fuel and when he was denied, the driver allegedly threatened to run Nahid over publicly.
