News of an accident

A Reader On e-mail
I would like to inform you that when I was travelling to my residence at Khulshi, Chittagong, there was a road accident on 14 August at around 3.30pm at GEC intersection. If my eyesight was all right most probably a beggar was lying in the middle of the road and two policemen were diverting the vehicles to other roads. It was a terrible scene, the victim's head had been crushed beyond recognition.

Next day morning while I was reading The Daily Star I found a piece of news on the second page, column 4:

" One old man was killed in a road accident in the port city."

"........ he was getting down from a special city service bus at GEC intersection at around 1.30pm." The name and age of the victim were mentioned in the report.

I think the report was not based on what really happened.
