Dinajpur youth found dead on rail line

An 18-year-old youth was crushed to death by a speeding train in Dinajpur on Tuesday, police said.

The deceased was identified as Al-Amin, son of Mominul Islam from Dighan Hazipara village in Sadar upazila.

“We suspect the youth was run over by the Panchagarh-bound Kanchan Express in the morning,” said Abdus Sattar, a sub-inspector at Dinajpur railway police station.

His body parts were strewn on the tracks as the train had passed over. "The body parts have been handed over to his family members without an autopsy," he said.

However, Al-Amin’s family claimed that he  ended his life as he had been suffering from mental illness.
