A 27-year-old man and his four-year-old son sustained critical injuries on Friday evening after the father jumped in front of a moving train in Narsingdi, allegedly due to an ongoing domestic dispute.
The incident occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m. near the Birpur Government Primary School, located close to the Arshinagar railway crossing. The man, identified as Al-Amin, son of Hasem Mia from the East Brahmandi area of Narsingdi, was seen with his son, Arian, near the Birpur mosque earlier that afternoon.
Witnesses reported that as the Noakhali-bound Upakul Express train departed from the Narsingdi railway station and began to gain speed near the primary school, Al-Amin jumped onto the tracks while holding the child. The impact knocked both victims between the rails, allowing the train to pass over them. Miraculously, both survived the incident, though they suffered severe injuries to their heads and various parts of their bodies.
Local residents rushed the pair to the emergency department of Narsingdi Sadar Hospital. Following initial treatment, attending physician Monir Hossain noted that their conditions had deteriorated, prompting medical staff to recommend an immediate transfer to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for advanced trauma care.
According to the victim’s brother, Abdul Kader, the child, Arian, was subsequently moved to a private hospital where he received 16 stitches to his head. Al-Amin remains under medical observation at Narsingdi Sadar Hospital.
Sub-Inspector Dilip Chandra Sarkar of the Narsingdi Railway Police confirmed the incident and stated that an investigation is underway. Authorities believe the incident was motivated by domestic issues, noting that the victims were fortunate to have survived being struck by the train.
