The victim was identified as Sarwar Jahan Prince (20) son of Anwarul Islam of Kajla area under Motihar police station. He was a student of a private Polytechnic institute in Chapainawabganj.
Shah Kamal, Officer-in-charge of Rajshahi railway police station informed, Sarwar was killed in a collision with a running train while crossing the unprotected level crossing at Bahrampur in a motor bike. He said, Bahrampur railway level crossing is unprotected since there is no gate man on duty. Around 10.00 pm on Sunday, Sarwar was crossing the level crossing on a motor-bike when a Rajshahi bound train from Chapainawabganj hit him killing him under the wheels of the train.
The speedy train dragged the motor bike and Sarwar some 100-yard forward severing head and parts of his body. Police recovered the severed parts of the dead body and sent it to the morgue of RMCH for autopsy.
