Tragically, Abdul Mohit Rajon, a 30-year-old resident of Anandpur village in the Gopaya Union of Habiganj Sadar, has lost his life just one month after his wedding. On Sunday, 21 December, local time, Rajon was fatally struck by a speeding lorry while crossing the road in the Yasmin area of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He passed away instantly at the scene.
Rajon, the son of Nur Mia, had recently married in July 2024. According to family sources, he left his newlywed wife behind and travelled to Saudi Arabia in search of better employment opportunities. He had been residing in Riyadh at the time of the accident. The Saudi authorities have already apprehended the lorry driver responsible for the collision.
Gopaya Union Parishad Chairman, Md. Abdul Mannan, confirmed the news and said he visited Rajon’s family home on Monday after learning about the tragedy. He added that a colleague from Brahmanbaria has initiated the process to bring Rajon’s body back to Bangladesh. “I will ensure that the local administration is fully informed and involved,” Mannan stated.
Meanwhile, Fatema Tuz Johra Sania, the Executive Officer of Habiganj Sadar Upazila, remarked that she was not yet fully briefed on the incident but promised to investigate and provide all possible assistance to the bereaved family.

Experts emphasise the importance of road safety awareness for expatriates, especially in foreign cities with heavy traffic, warning that accidents involving speeding vehicles remain a leading cause of fatalities among young workers abroad.
The incident also highlights the emotional and social costs of labour migration, as newly married individuals often leave families behind in search of economic opportunities, exposing them to unforeseen risks.

This heartbreaking event has left the local community in mourning and serves as a reminder of the precarious nature of working abroad and the vital importance of traffic safety.
