Four Bangladeshi expatriates were killed in a tragic road accident in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday night.

The deceased were identified as Purananda (28), son of Abinash Rudhra of Shakroshala under Patia thana in Chittagong, Biplob Paul (22), son of Gopal Paul of Unsattar Para under Rawjan thana in Chittagong, Moinuddin Patwari (45), son of Ali Hossain of Char Alakgendar under Ramgoti thana in Laxmipur and Akram of Sylhet.

The accident took place at Ajman Imarat Signal Inter Sector at 12.30am while they were returning to their living place from the airport. The car which was carrying them collided head-on with a land cruiser coming from the opposite direction. The ill-fated expatriates died on the spot, family sources said.

Biplob Paul came to UAE from Bangladesh the same day to join a garment factory at Ajman. His uncle Purananda along with two Bangladeshis came to the airport to receive Biplob.

Purananda and Moinuddin came to UAE seven months ago in search of their livelihood.

Bodies of the victims were sent to Ajman Khalifa Hospital for autopsy.

Arrangements are underway to bring their bodies to Bangladesh.
