A 20-year-old bus helper was crushed to death in the capital's Natun Bazar area following reckless racing between two passenger buses operated by Raida Paribahan and Victor Paribahan.

The deceased was identified as Shishir Miah (20), a helper (driver's assistant) for Victor Paribahan and son of Md Nazrul Islam from Tongi, Gazipur.

The incident occurred on Wednesday evening. On Thursday (October 15), law enforcement officials confirmed that the body was recovered and sent to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) morgue for an autopsy.

Sub-Inspector (SI) Mohammad Solaiman Haq of Bhatara Police Station stated that police recovered the victim's body from in front of the passenger shed at the Natun Bazar intersection upon receiving information. After completing legal formalities, the body was transferred to the morgue late at night.

"According to local witnesses, the Badda-bound Raida Paribahan and Victor Paribahan buses were recklessly competing to overtake each other," SI Solaiman said. "At one point, the Raida Paribahan bus aggressively squeezed past the Victor Paribahan bus. Shishir Miah, who was standing at the door of the Victor Paribahan bus, was crushed between the two vehicles and died on the spot."

The police officer added that the exact cause of death will be officially confirmed upon receiving the autopsy report.
