A student of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) was killed in a motorcycle accident on the Sylhet-Sunamganj highway near the university campus on Saturday night.

The deceased, Sadman Rahman, also known as Nabil, was a student of the Department of Physics in the 2025-26 academic session. His home was in Madhya Bhabanipur area of Rajbari district, and he lived in a mess in Tilargaon near the university campus.

According to university sources, Sadman was heading towards Madina Market on his motorcycle after spending time with friends near the university's main gate. On the way, he reportedly lost control of the motorcycle at a speed breaker, causing it to crash into a road divider in front of the Topobon residential area.

He was initially taken to Mount Adora Hospital near the campus as his condition deteriorated, he was transferred to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, where the emergency department's on-duty doctor declared him dead.

Abdul Muhit, a physician at the hospital's emergency department, said Sadman was brought to the hospital around 1AM, but he had died before arrival. He had sustained severe injuries to his head.

Jalalabad Police Station's Officer-in-Charge (Investigation) Mujahidul Islam said police visited the hospital, prepared an inquest report and inspected the accident site. The incident was initially confirmed as a road accident, he said.

At the family's request, the body was handed over to relatives without an autopsy following permission from the additional district magistrate. An unnatural death case will be filed over the incident, the police official added.
