Their father, Sadek, was also injured in the accident and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.
SI Dharmajit said their autorickshaw was on its way to a destination in Ashuganj and was crossing the tracks in Talshahar when a Dhaka-bound mail train from Chattogram hit the vehicle, killing the brothers on the spot.
