When the whole country is reeling from the shock of the sad demise of Rajib Hossain, yet another youth has become the victim of such mishap, losing his hand in similar fashion in Gopalganj.

Khalid Hasan Hridoy, 20, lost his hand in BetgramBus Stop in Gopalganj Sadar upazila this morning. Locals and the victim’s family said, Hridoy, who is a transport worker, got his hand severed when a speeding truck zoomed past the bus he was travelling.

Hridoy, the son of Robiul Islam and Shahida Begum, used to work for ‘Tungipara Express’, an intercity bus service, reports Bangla daily ProthomAlo

He was returning to Gopalganj in a local bus after finishing his duty, his cousin Nazmul Hasan told the daily.

His hand was protruding from the window and got severed in a fraction of a second as a truck coming from the opposite direction scraped it around 10:00am.

He was rushed to a local clinic but later shifted to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) as his condition deteriorated.

DMCH’s resident physician Dr Md Alauddin said, they will initiate treatment of Hridoy after conducting necessary medical tests.
