A local businessman died Tuesday evening after being struck by a train in the Mathbaria area of Feni’s Dharmapur union. The incident occurred on the Dhaka-Chittagong railway line as the Dhaka-bound Mahanagar Godhuli express, originating from Chittagong, passed through the district.

According to railway police, the victim, identified as Mohammad Hossain, was struck while near the Deyanganj rail crossing. The force of the impact was such that his remains were scattered along the tracks for approximately one kilometer. Local residents alerted authorities, prompting an immediate response from the Government Railway Police (GRP), who recovered the remains and transported them to the morgue at the Feni 250-bed General Hospital for autopsy.

Motiur Rahman, general secretary of the Feni City Businessmen Welfare Association, confirmed that the deceased was a member of the organization and was identified through his association identification card. While associates noted that the businessman had been managing outstanding financial obligations, the circumstances surrounding his presence on the tracks remain unclear.
