On April 3, Rajib Hasan, a 2nd year student of Govt Titumir College lost his arm in a bus accident. He was going to attend his classes by a double-decker BRTC bus. He was standing on the rear gate of the overcrowded bus dangling his right hand outside.
When the bus got stranded at the Sonargaon crossing near Panthakunja park, a ‘Sajan Paribahan’ bus tried to make its way through the narrow space in between the BRTC bus and the footpath. Rajib’s right hand was pressed in between the two buses and got severed from the elbow.
Being rescued, the victim was taken to MH Samorita Hospital at Panthapath.
Later, he was shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of DMCH.
