A 30-year-old construction worker died in an accident on an under-construction elevated expressway in the Tejgaon railway station area of Dhaka on Wednesday evening, police said on Thursday.
The deceased was identified as Mohammad Hasan Mijhi, son of late Fazlur Rahman Mijhi of Bara Sundar village in Chandpur Sadar.
Mijhi sustained injuries while placing a girder (a support beam), said Md Shamim, a colleague who rushed him to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH).
"He was declared dead on arrival by doctors at the hospital," he said.
DMCH police camp in-charge Inspector Bachchu Mia said the body was kept at the hospital morgue for an autopsy.
