Flat owners of a residential building in Dhaka's East Rahabazar area on Thursday (4 July) morning hits a security guard named Fazlu Miah over delaying opening the building's gate. He was critically injured and rushed to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The incident occurred around 7:45 am when a white sedan, registration no Dhaka Metro Ga 376064, arrived at the building entrance.

The owner, reportedly frustrated by the delay in opening the main gate, accelerated into the gate, causing part of it to shatter and severely damaging the car's front end. In the process, the car also struck the security guard, Fazlu Miah.

Tejgaon Division of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police informed that the car owner, aged around 55-60, had asked his regular driver to vacate the driver's seat in a fit of anger and then proceeded to ram the gate, resulting in the fatal accident.

The car owner fled the scene immediately after the incident. Police are still working to identify and locate him.
