A 17-year-old boy went missing as a boat sank in the Karnaphuli River after collision with a fishing trawler on Saturday night.
The missing boy was identified as Md Shohag, son of Md Karim from Comilla.
When the small boat was crossing the river from Marine Fisheries Terminal on the south bank, it collided with an anchored trawler named FV Pertex-1 and sank.
All but Shohag managed to swim ashore.
A team of divers and river police conducted a search operation, said ABM Mizanur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Sadarghat River police station.
Shohag was returning to the port city with his father from the Karnaphuli area, he said.
