A 21-year old youth was killed after being hit by a running train as he was crossing the rail line in the capital's airport rail-gate area last night. The identity of the deceased could not be known immediately. "The accident took place last night but the identity of the youth so far could not be unearthed," said assistant sub-inspector (ASI)of Dhaka Railway Airport police outpost Sunmoon Marma. Quoting an eyewitness M Mehedi, police said he saw an unconscious youth was lying on the street with critical head injury while passing the airport rail gate area. The pedestrian (Mehedi) rescued him and took him to Kurmitola General Hospital at first. Later, he was shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) around 12.30 am where the on-duty doctors declared him dead. GRP police sources said the body has been kept at DMCH morgue for autopsy.
