One person was killed and four others were injured today when a private helicopter crashed, after it dropped ace Bangladeshi crickter Shakib Al Hasan and his wife.
Shakib, 29, and his wife flew to Tulip Sea Pearl Beach Resort, in Cox Bazar for a television commercial shoot when the helicopter that took them there crashed while it was on its return journey.
32-year-old Shah Alam working as an accountant at Ogilvy Bangladesh, an advertising and brand communications agency died in the crash.
The Robinson R66 helicopter on its return journey took off with five passengers, including the pilot, and crashed around 10.30 AM in Redu Khal area near Inani sea beach. One person was killed and four others injured in the accident, The Daily Star reported.
