The metro rail authorities will take full responsibility for the family of a man who was killed after being hit by a bearing pad that fell from an overhead section of the urban train line, according to Road Transport and Bridges Advisor Fouzul Kabir Khan. “We will take full responsibility for the victim, meaning the metro rail authorities will do so. A five-strong investigation committee has been formed to look into the incident, headed by Abdur Rouf, the former managing director of the metro rail and now secretary of the Bridges Division, said Fouzul. Following the accident, metro rail service was suspended. The Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL), which operates the metro rail, later said it expected operations between Agargaon and Diabari to resume on Sunday but could not say when service on the Motijheel section would restart.
