A Dhaka City College student drowned yesterday while bathing near St Martin’s Island under Teknaf upazila in Cox’s Bazar while three other students were rescued in critical condition.
The deceased Sakhawat Hossain Jitu, 21, a student of Department of Business Administration, was visiting the island with four faculty members and 152 students, police said.
Jitu, Omar Ferdous 21, Sansardin Al Shams, 21, and Ashraful Haque Raihan, 21, along with their group were bathing on the west side of the island around 3:00pm when a strong tidal wave washed the four out to sea.
