Bus kills boy, leaves family in trauma

Staff Correspondent
A bus ran over and killed a three-and-a-half-year-old boy and dragged his father for around 20 yards at Banani in the capitalyesterday.
The boy, Mohammad Arafat, died on the spot as the wheels of the bus crushed his head.
The bus went over a leg of his father Mohammad Shahjahan Sheikh, 38, a carpenter by profession.
The accident happened right before his
wife and the other son.
Shahjahan was taken to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (Nitor) and was having treatment there.
As of 7:00pm, he was not told that his son had died and The Daily Star correspondent refrained from asking him about his son.

Star that the family was crossing the street even though a foot overbridge was there within 80 yards.
He rushed to the spot and took the body and Shahjahan to DMCH.
Lying on his hospital bed, Shahjahan told The Daily Star that the accident happened around 3:00pm when he along with his wife Anjana Begum and sons Arafat and Abir were crossing the Airport Road near Kakoli.
He said they had just arrived from Tongi on a bus. They proceeded to get to the other side as they found the road clear.
Abir was in Anjana's lap and Shahjahan was
behind them holding Arafat by the hand.
The bus came out of nowhere and hit him, Shahjahan said.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself on a bed in Dhaka Medical College Hospital. He was later moved to Nitor, also known as Pangu Hospital.
Shahjahan lives with his family in Banani DOHS area. He said he had a piece of land on Tongi Station Road and that he and his family had gone there to see the land.
Witness Ujjal Hossain, a restaurant employee, told The Daily Star that he heard people screaming and yelling.
He saw a bus dragging a man around 20 yards. The bus then stopped and locals pulled a man out from underneath.
A boy (Arafat) was lying dead yards away.
The woman (Anjana) was screaming her lungs out holding her son (Abir) to the chest, Ujjal said.
Emergency medical officers at Nitor told The Daily Star that Shahjahan's left leg had been smashed and he sustained injuries to his head and right leg too.
They said they would x-ray him later to know the extent of the injuries.
Banani police said they had seized the bus but the driver managed to flee.
