A 35-year-old man died at Chattogram Medical College Hospital after being found critically injured beneath an elevated expressway in the city’s Tigerpass area on Wednesday night.

The deceased was identified as Mehedi Hasan, son of Sultan Sikder, from Shiachar area of Kutubpur in Narayanganj Sadar upazila.

Local residents found him lying in a bloodied condition beneath the flyover and rushed him to Chattogram Medical College Hospital.

He was taken to the hospital around 11:30pm, where the on-duty physician declared him dead at 11:40pm.

Nurul Alam Ashek, in-charge of the hospital police outpost, said the body had been kept in the hospital morgue.

Mohammad Iqbal Hossain, inspector (investigation) of Kotwali Police Station, said the man had reportedly been suffering from mental distress.

Police are questioning local residents and taking necessary legal steps to investigate the incident.

However, it is yet to be determined whether Mehedi fell from the flyover or was already lying beneath it.
