Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on Monday detained the truck driver who ran over three members of a family, including a pregnant woman on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway.
Raju Ahmed Shipon was held from Dhaka's Savar, RAB spokesperson Khandaker Al Moin told Bangla Tribune on Tuesday.
On Saturday, the girl child was born during a road accident that left three of her family members including her parents dead on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway.
The tragic accident occurred around 2:30pm near the Court Building area in Trishal upazila, said Md Moinuddin, officer-in-charge of Trishal police station.
While crossing the highway, a speeding Mymenshingh-bound truck knocked them down, leaving all three family members dead on the spot.
The baby is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital, where women who recently gave birth are taking turns to feed her.
She has fractures in her hand and shoulder.
