Agrani Bank official Ibrahim Hossain wails after his daughter -- six-year-old Suraia Tasnim Prapti -- was killed in a road accident in Bogra's Saujgari area yesterday. Accompanied by her mother Sabiha, Prapti was returning home from school on a battery-run auto rickshaw around 11:00am. The vehicle, however, turned turtle on being hit by another auto rickshaw from behind. Both mother and daughter fell off and the vehicle smashed some parts of Prapti's head against the road. The child was taken to a hospital where she was declared dead. Inset, Prapti's school ID. Photo: Star
