A man and his 10-year-old boy were killed in a road accident at Sitakunda upazila in Chattogram on Saturday night while returning after Eid shopping.
The deceased were Salim Uddin, 40, and his son Minhaj.
They met the tragic end of their lives at Boro Darogahat Bazar area on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway around 10pm while returning home.

The duo died on the spot.
