A private university student was crushed under the wheels of a train Wednesday night at the city’s Khilkhet rail crossing.
The dead identified as Tanjid Hossain Mohan, 23, son of Mohammad Mojibur Rahman and a student of American International University, used to reside with his family at Nikunja-2.
The body sliced into four pieces was recovered at about 10:00am Thursday morning, railway police said. The police sent it to Dhaka Medical College morgue.
Selim Sardar, a cousin of the victim, identified the body and told this correspondent that Mohan went missing Wednesday night.
He suspected that some unidentified people killed his cousin and dumped the body onto the rail tracks.
Quoting witnesses, Sub-Inspector (SI) Nazrul Islam of Kamalapur Railway Police Station, however, said Mohan was talking over the cell phone while crossing the rail tracks and a Dhaka-bound train ran him over.
Morgue sources said they did not find any injury marks on the body.
An unnatural death case was filed with the police station in this connection, and a murder case will be filed depending on what the autopsy report says, the SI said.
