Salehi told bdnews24.com that the secretary got angry when he sought his comment on the “extra” fare on Monday. The secretary first said he would explain the ‘extra’ fare only if any passenger raised the question, the Somoy TV report said. Mofazzel later called and sought an explanation from Mia Jahan, an additional director general (operations) in the railways department, but got no explanation, the TV station said. The secretary made the “suicide” remarks when Salehi informed him about Jahan’s denial, the TV station said. As netizens and journalists reacted sharply to the secretary’s remarks on the social media, bdnews24.com contacted Mofazzel for his comment on the Somoy report.
