Md Jahangir Alam, a CNG-run autorickshaw driver, passed away while undergoing treatment at Home Care Hospital in Katabon, Dhaka, around 8am on Saturday. He was 55.

He had been providing transportation services to journalists, officials, and employees of the Daily Sun and East West Media Group on a contractual basis.

According to family and workplace sources, Jahangir Alam was critically injured in a road accident on the night of 28 May. At around 11:00pm, the CNG-run auto-rickshaw he was driving collided with a private car on the 300 Feet Road in the capital.

He was initially rushed to Kurmitola General Hospital and later transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment. 

However, due to the unavailability of an ICU bed, he was subsequently admitted to Home Care Hospital in Katabon, where he remained under intensive medical care.
