A man, aged around 60, was killed on Thursday as a passenger bus hit him in Dhaka's Jatrabari.
The incident took place in the afternoon when a bus of Utshab Paribahan knocked the 60-year-old Siddiqur Rahman down.
He was from Chandpur and would live in Naryanganj.
The pedestrians rescued him in a critical condition and rushed him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where he was declared dead at around 6:15pm, Jatrabari Police Station Sub-Inspector Bishawjit Sarker said.
"The on-duty police sergeant seized the bus, but its driver managed to flee the scene," Bishawjit said.
"Siddiqur's body has been kept at DMCH morgue for autopsy."
