Tejgaon Rickshaw puller thrown under the bus

[Dhaka Tribune] A rickshaw puller has been killed falling under the wheels of a bus after his rickshaw was knocked over by a CNG-run 3-wheeler.

The accident took place at Dhaka's Tejgaon area on Friday.

The dear departed was identified as Darog Ali, 40, hailing from Nokla upazila of Sherpur.

Confirming the matter, Tejgaon cop shoppe Sub-Inspector Sumit Kumar Shah said: "The incident took place near Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in Khamarbari area around 3pm.

Citing locals, the police official said the rickshaw was heading towards Farmgate area from Khamarbari when a CNG-run 3-wheeler knocked over his rickshaw. The rickshaw puller fell on the ground and was run over by a bus.

Police also detained the bus driver and seized his vehicle. However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
the CNG-run 3-wheeler expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.

#1 Could be the three wheeler didn't have brakes, hit the rickshaw and couldn't stop and kept on going. Even though rickshaw drivers are usually asses in traffic no animals were hurt, (thats my story and I'm sticking to it)

#2 For want of a brake or a shoe,
It's under the bus that you gew,
And there wasn't much fuss
At your scratching that bus,
For in Dhaka the bus scratches you.

A little Saturday bathos there, if you can bear it. Seriously, RIP. Coulda been me, more than once (except for the constant stress, tedium, hunger, and the bus not stopping).
