National Citizen Party (NCP) joint convener and Kurigram-2 MP, Dr Atiqur Rahman Mujahid, was injured in a road accident today (17 March) while returning to his constituency from Dhaka, when the microbus he was travelling in reportedly collided head-on with a fast-moving truck.
The accident occurred near Kaunia Bailey Bridge on the Rangpur-Kurigram highway, NCP Media Cell member Yasin Arafat confirmed.
