Four dead as boat sinks in Bangladesh

At least four people died after a
boat carrying 20 people sank in Bangladesh’s Buriganga river
near the capital Dhaka on Sunday, a fire service official said.
Most of the passengers were believed to have swum ashore as
the water bus sank close to the bank, according to fire service
official Anwarul Islam.
Four bodies have been recovered and the rescue operation is
ongoing, police official Sahabuddin Kabir told Reuters.
Seven people have been rescued and sent to hospitals, police
said.
Hundreds of onlookers gathered at the site as rescuers in
multiple boats scanned the river with flashlights, according to
a Reuters witness.
