The deceased was identified as Kamruzzaman Ratan, 50, a video editor at Deepto TV in Dhaka.
Deepto TV Savar correspondent Abdul Halim said: "Kamruzzaman worked as a video editor in our head office. However, as he resided in the Talbag area of Savar, he used to commute to work on a motorcycle. This morning, while he was on his way from home to the office, a reckless vehicle in the Banktown area ran him over. He died on the spot, and the police later recovered his body."
He further added: "I cannot accept the death of Kamruzzaman Bhai in any way. We lost a dear colleague today due to reckless driving on the roads."
Savar Highway police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sheikh Abul Hossain said: "Initially, we learned that the staff named Kamruzzaman was riding his motorcycle towards Dhaka on Sunday morning. When he reached the Bank Town area on the Dhaka-Aricha Highway, a speeding truck hit him from behind and fled the scene. He died on the spot.”
“His body was later recovered and brought to the police station. Efforts to seize the truck involved in the incident are ongoing, and the legal proceedings related to this case are in progress," the OC added.
