A young man was killed filming a TikTok video on a moving motorcycle in Satkhira's Ashashuni; his friend was seriously injured

A 20-year-old man, Mustakin Sardar, has been killed in Satkhira's Ashashuni upazila after losing control of his motorcycle while filming a TikTok video on the moving bike.

The accident happened on Saturday (14 November) afternoon at Taltala in Shovnali Union of Ashashuni upazila.

Mustakin Sardar was the son of Momin Sardar of Dakshin Debnagar village in Satkhira Sadar upazila.

His friend Jaber Hossain was seriously injured in the accident. Jaber is also a resident of the same area.

Ashashuni police station officer-in-charge (OC) Shahidur Rahman, quoting eyewitnesses, said Mustakin and Jaber were riding a motorcycle from Shalkali towards Parulia in the afternoon.

When they reached the Taltala area, Mustakin was filming a TikTok video on his mobile phone with one hand while the motorcycle was moving, the OC said.

At that point he lost control of the motorcycle because of excessive speed, and the bike eventually hit a tree beside the road.

Mustakin suffered a serious head injury in the collision and died on the spot.

Local people later rescued the injured Jaber Hossain and admitted him to Satkhira Medical College Hospital, where he is undergoing treatment.
