The Philosophical Places of Comilla
A University level student died from electrocution while taking an amusement ride at Dharmasagar City Park in Comilla on Saturday night.
The deceased, Raihan, 22, was a second-year honours student of Comilla Lalmai Degree College and resident of Comilla city. The body was handed over to his family.
Shafiq, a tea stall owner and witness, said, “A youth screamed after he got electrocuted while riding the magic boat. His friends who were also taking the ride jumped off and took him to Comilla Medical College Hospital.”
He was declared dead at the hospital.
Dharmasagar is a decades-old park, but at least 11 amusement rides including Ferris wheel, toy train, and merry-go-round were installed in the last six months. It is owned and operated by Comilla City Corporation.
Soon after the accident, the ride operators went missing, and the authorities declared the park shut.
Abul Fazal Mir, deputy commissioner of Comilla, said the park would not resume operation until experts declare it safe.
Superintendent of Police of Comilla Syed Nurul Islam visited the park yesterday.
Abu Salam Mia, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Model Police Station, said a murder case was filed against Abul Kashem and Sharif, who are peons of the city corporation and assigned to operate the magic boat ride.
Anupam Barua, chief officer of the City Park, said, “Comilla City Corporation suspended all types of ride until further notice.”
When asked how the rides were installed and who operate those, he did not give an answer.
This correspondent called Comilla city Mayor Monirul Haque Shakku several times, but his phone was switched off.
