"It is not sure whether the accident happened due to over-speeding or any mechanical failure in the dumper. The vehicle has been seized but the driver and the helper of the dumper have fled the spot," he said.
Following the incident, an angry mob agitated with the dead body of Islam and blocked parts of the adjoining Haora road after half an hour before they were dispersed.
