Zahidul Islam, a 23-year-old returnee from Saudi Arabia, pressured his parents to buy him a motorcycle upon his return home. Despite their initial refusal, they relented, purchasing one for Tk 160,000. Tragically, Zahidul's first ride with friends resulted in a fatal accident on Sarail-Nasirnagar-Lakhai highway. He sustained a severe head injury when his motorcycle toppled while overtaking a CNG-powered auto-rickshaw. Despite efforts to rescue him, he succumbed to his injuries en route to the hospital. Zahidul's father expressed regret, emphasizing the danger of buying motorcycles for young sons. Police confirmed none wore helmets, highlighting the risks of reckless driving.
