Community Desk:  The bodies of three Bangladeshi students who died in a road accident in Canada would be sent to Bangladesh as their families have already started the process, according to Bangladesh high commission in Canada.

‘The families of the three deceased students and the high commission are in touch. We would extend all cooperation required for sending the bodies home,’ Bangladesh high commissioner to Canada Khalilur Rahman told New Age over phone on Saturday.

It is yet to be finalised when the bodies would reach Bangladesh, he said.

The high commission is engaged with the local authorities and the Bangladeshi community in Manitoba on the matter, he added.

Al Numan Aditta, Md Aranoor Azad Chowdhury and Risul Badhon, who were students of the University of Manitoba, died as two vehicles crashed head-on near Arborg in Canada Thursday morning.
