Victim Selim BepariA man was killed in Dhaka late on Tuesday after a car, with an MP’s son allegedly behind the wheels, ran over him.
The incident was reported from the flyover in the city’s Mohakhali area around 10:30pm, said Kafrul police OC Sikdar Mohammad Shamim.
“He was hit by a car on the flyover and died on the spot,” said the police officer before adding that victim has been identified as 45-year-old Selim Bepari.
An officer at the Kafrul police station said that the sedan, which ran over Selim, was being driven by the son of a member of parliament from Noakhali and that the police have started a case.
Victim Selim Bepari's Driving licenceThe car and its driver were, however, not detained, he said.
OC Shamim, however, said they have noted the car’s license plate number (Dhaka Metro Ga 13-7655). “We will get the details after running it through the BRTA.”
Victim Selim, who hailed from Barishal, used to work as a chauffeur.
“The police have been able to obtain the car’s (license plate) number. So, we believe those responsible will be tracked,” his son-in-law Arif Bhuiyan told Bangla Tribune
Members of the victim’s family, asking not to be named, said that the MP’s family have already reached out to them for a settlement and asked not to file a complaint with the police.
