A six-year-old boy died after falling from the roof of a six-storey building in Dhaka's Bangshal on Saturday.
The deceased was identified as Ayan Chowdhury, a student in class two and the son of Emon Chowdhury, an auto parts business owner.
Ayan lived on the second floor of the building with his parents and younger brother, said his uncle Masum Mia.
“I can’t comprehend how he fell, the roof has a parapet and grills on top of it,” he said.
Ayan was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in a critical condition, where doctors pronounced him dead.
The body has been sent for an autopsy, and the concerned police station has been informed about the matter, said Inspector Bacchu Mia, in-charge of the DMCH Police Outpost.
