Three people were killed in a head-on collision between a bus and a CNG-run auto-rickshaw on Nabinagar–Companiganj regional road in Brahmanbaria this morning.
Two of the deceased were identified as Abul Kashem and Sohag Mia, both passengers of the auto-rickshaw. The other victim was the three-wheeler driver but his name and other details could not be known immediately.
