Witnesses said Sadikul died on the spot after being hit by a Kamalapur-bound train around 5:15pm on Friday. One of the witnesses, Nurul Islam, said, “He was taking a selfie. We also shouted, but he didn’t hear us.”Another witness said neither the whistles nor the shouts reached Sadikul because he had his earphones on.
