Four persons were killed in a collision between a mini-truck and an auto-rickshaw on the Cox’s Bazar road at Ukhiya upazila on Tuesday night.

The deceased were Mohammad Amin, 25, son of Babul, Jihan, 22, son of Nur Alam, Nurul Islam, 26, son of Sayed Alam, and Sonaton Shorma, 23. All of them were the residents of the Ukhiya upazila and the passengers of the auto-rickshaw.
