A rickshaw-van puller was killed when a brick falling from the sixth floor of a nine-storey building hit him on the head at Baitul Aman Housing in the city's Adabar yesterday.
He was identified as Mosharraf Hossain, 55.
The incident occurred around 5:00pm when Mosharraf was talking to his acquaintances on the van near the building that houses the office of Dhaka-based NGO Padakkhep.
Seriously injured Mosharraf was rushed to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him dead.
Mosharraf's son Ayub Ali told The Daily Star that he doubts whether it was an accident or a killing.
Following the incident, locals went to the spot and found bricks piled up on a corner of the sixth floor.
