An unidentified man died on the spot after being struck by the Tourist Express train near the Sholashahar Railway Crossing in Chattogram city on Saturday (September 26, 2026).

According to Inspector In-Charge (IC) Asim Dhar of the Sholashahar Railway Police Outpost, the incident occurred around 1:00 PM when the victim, believed to be a transient resident around the station area, was walking along the railway tracks.
