A fatal road traffic accident involving a CNG-driven autorickshaw and a private car on the Dhaka-Narayanganj Link Road at Jalkuri, under the jurisdiction of the Siddhirganj Police Station, has resulted in the death of a six-year-old child. The deceased has been identified as Synthia Rahman Humayra. In addition to the fatality, five other individuals, including the child’s parents, sustained various injuries during the collision.
The incident transpired on Friday, 19 June 2026, at approximately 22:00 BST near the Jalkuri underpass area. Synthia Rahman Humayra was the daughter of Md.
