Two schoolboys were killed and three others injured in a collision involving two motorcycles and a bicycle in Jhenaidah’s Sadar upazila on Wednesday night.
The deceased were identified as Arafat Hossain, 16, son of Korban Ali, and Shihab, 16, son of Imran Hossain—both residents of Dorigobindapur village.
Arafat was a student at Mallik Shahidul Islam Technical School and College in Jhenaidah town, while Shihab studied in class nine at Kanchannagar Model School and College.
The accident occurred in the Dorigobindapur area around 8:00 pm while Shihab and Arafat were heading to the nearby Boyratola market on a motorcycle.
When they reached the area, their motorcycle collided head-on with another motorcycle and a bicycle coming from the opposite direction, leaving five people injured.
The injured were taken to Jhenaidah Sadar Hospital, from where Shihab, Arafat, and the bicyclist were referred to Faridpur for better treatment. Shihab died on the way to Faridpur, while Arafat died on the way to Dhaka.
Jhenaidah Sadar Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Abdullah Al Mamun said the bodies were handed over to their families as no complaints were filed.
