A North South University student was killed after a suspected hit and run on the Kuril flyover in Dhaka this morning, said police.
The deceased was identified as Maisha Momotaz Meem (21), a sixth-semester student of the university's English department. Meem was heading towards the NSU campus on her scooter when the accident happened, said police.
"CCTV footage of the area showed that a covered van closely passing by Meem's scooter on the flyover. But it was not clear in the footage whether the van hit her scooter," Khilkhet Police Station Officer-in-Charge Munshi Sabbir told The Daily Star.
She was found dead on the flyover around 7:30 am, he said.
Meem was the daughter of Nur Md Mamun, a resident of Uttara Sector-6, said police.
Police are trying to identify the van and nab the driver, added OC Sabbir.
