A 60-year-old man was killed after being hit reportedly by a garbage truck of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) in the capital’s Tikatuli area early Thursday.
The victim was identified as a shopping bag trader Swapan Kumar Saha, a resident of Narinda area.
Witnesses said the accident occurred on the east side of Rajdhani Supermarket at Tikatuli around 6:45 am when a garbage truck hit a rickshaw carrying Swapan on his way to TT Para bus stand, leaving him dead on the spot.
However, police could not identify the killer vehicle yet, said Kabir Hossain Hawladar, officer-in-charge (OC) of Wari Police Station.
“Police are trying to identify it from CCTV footage,” the OC added.

Just a day after the tragic death of a Notre Dame College student, another man, a printing-press businessman of Moghbazar, was crushed under the wheels of a vehicle of Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) in the city’s Panthapath area on November 25.
