Staff Reporter :
Police on Thursday revealed the name of the owner of the private car that hit Ataur Rahman and his wife Rawshan Ara in Dhaka’s Shewrapara area on Wednesday morning leaving them dead on the spot.
The car belongs to a person named Ashikur Rahman Khan.
The person who was driving the car during the mishap was Ashikur Rahman’s son Nafis Khan, a police officer of Kafrul Police Station told The New Nation yesterday.
“The identity of the owner of the car was confirmed by the Bangladesh Road and Transport Authority (BRTA),” he said. The police officer further said that they had gathered all the information, and they are now trying to nab the culprits.
He, however, refused to disclose more information for the sake of the investigation.
Ataur Rahman and his wife Rawshan Ara were standing in front of Haji Ashraf Ali Market when the car hit them.
Witnesses said they saw three youths running away leaving the wrecked car after the incident.
Ashikur Rahman’s identification papers and a bottle of liquor were found in the car — something which suggested that whoever was driving was drunk.
Ataur Rahman’s son, Md. Rayhan, is in the dark as to the progress of the investigation. “The police have not informed me about the people who were involved in the mishap. Even if they are identified, will justice be delivered?” he asked.
