Silchar: A 21-year-old youth from southern Assam’s Hailakandi district died in a tragic road accident on Sunday morning in Bengaluru.
The deceased, identified as Kamil Ahmed Mazumder, hailed from Chiparsangan (Part-II) in Hailakandi. He was working as a delivery agent with the food delivery company Zomato in Bengaluru.
Sources said Kamil was hit by a bus in Bengaluru early on Sunday morning when he was riding a two-wheeler to deliver an order. He died on the spot and the body was later sent to a hospital by police for post-mortem.
The body is expected to reach his native place on Tuesday, the sources said.
Family members said Kamil and his elder brother had gone to Bengaluru around three years ago to earn money for their 60-year-old father Abdul Rahim Mazumder’s treatment. The sexagenarian has been suffering from paralysis for the past one to two years. Both Kamil and his brother used to send money home every month for Abdul’s treatment as their family’s financial condition is very weak, they said.
The news of Kamil’s tragic death has descended a pall of gloom on the village. Locals have expressed deep sorrow over the demise and conveyed their condolences to the bereaved family members.
