Three people, including a child, have been killed in three separate accidents in Dhaka’s Farmgate, Jatrabari and Kalshi areas.

A three-year-old boy named Sayem was run over and killed by a pickup truck in the Kalshi area around 7:30 am on Saturday, said Pallabi Police OC Parvez Islam.
The accident occurred next to a 22-storey garment factory, near where the child’s family lived.

He was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
Police have seized the pickup, but the driver has fled.

They were rescued and sent to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared Nirob dead.
Nirob was a cricketer and hailed from Keraniganj’s Atibazar area, the OC said.
