Former union parishad chairman candidate was killed in a road accident while returning home from a religious gathering in Magura on Saturday night.

The accident occurred around 9:30PM on the Magura-Jashore highway in the Maghir Dhal area on October 31.

The deceased was identified as Abdur Razzak Raja, 67, from Jagla village under Jagdal Union in Magura Sadar upazila.

According to local sources, Raja was returning home to Jagla village from a religious gathering in the Narsinghati area when he met with the accident and fell on the road. Passers-by rescued him and took him to Magura 250-bed Hospital, where on-duty physician Krishna Biswas declared him dead after examination.

Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Magura Highway Police Station Md Abdul Halim said, police visited the scene after receiving information about the accident. The body is currently at the hospital and will be handed over to the family after the completion of legal procedures.

Raja contested the 2016 Jagdal Union Parishad election as the BNP-nominated candidate for chairman, using the party's sheaf of paddy symbol.
