A Bangladeshi expatriate and his minor son were killed in a road accident in Al-Hur area of Qatar's capital Doha yesterday.
Six other people were injured in the crash.
The deceased are Shakil Khaled, 45, senior officer of Qatar Commercial Bank, and his son Hamid Khaled, class IV student of Modern Indian School in Doha. They hailed from Chittagong.
Shakil was the son of late Saifuddin Ahmed, former general secretary of Qatar Cricket Association (QCA).
Shakil's close relative Saif Ahmed, public relations officer of Chittagong City Corporation, told the news agency that eight people, including Shakil and Hamid, were returning to Doha from Al-Hur area by a car.
The speeding vehicle skidded off the road and hit a boundary wall as its driver lost control over the steering, leaving the Bangladeshi banker and his son dead on the spot and six other passengers injured.
Steps are being taken to bring their bodies back to Bangladesh as early as possible, Saif added, quoting the members of the bereaved family who reside at Munsipara of North Tattali in the port city.
