The accident took place at a bypass intersection in the town at around 8:00 am on Wednesday, said

Mahmudul Islam, chief of the Kotwali Model Police Station.

The deceased have been identified as autorickshaw driver Abul Hashem, 28,

hailing from Fulbaria Upazila and police officer Saiful Islam, 30, from Muktagachha Upazila.

Saiful was a member of Bangladesh police in Gazipur, OC Mahmudul told bdnews24.com.

He was heading home ahead of upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr by a bus. He hired the

autorickshaw driven by Abul Hashem after getting off the bus at bypass intersection.

A Muktagachha bound truck from Dhaka hit the autorickshaw killing both of them on the spot.
