2 teens killed in Panchagarh road accident

Two teenagers were killed after a truck hit their bicycle in Debiganj of Panchagarh Thursday night.

Sanjoy Chandra Roy, 14, son of Raj Kumar Roy, and Anik Chandra Roy, 14, son of Atul Chandra Roy, were from Pamuli Bhullipara.

Sanjoy was a class eight student while Anik worked at a local workshop.

Debiganj Police Station OC Soyel Rana said the accident occurred when a stone-laden truck heading towards Debiganj ran over the boys from behind while they were returning home from Laxsmirhat Bazar.

The truck was intercepted by locals, who caught the driver, Abdul Halim, 60, and his helper, Jahid Hasan, and handed them over to the police.

Anik's family filed a case with the police station.

The two arrestees yesterday were produced before a Panchagarh court that sent them to jail, said the OC.
