Abu Dhabi's Bangladeshi community is mourning the loss of a mother and her 15-year-old son following a fatal car crash on Monday night. The victims, identified as Ashima Chowdhury, 48, and her son Aritra Biswas, were killed when a speeding car hit their vehicle from behind near Al Wathba Bridge on Al Ain Road. Their father, Sree Swarup Kanti Biswas, 59, survived with injuries.
The family plans to conduct the last rites at a crematorium in Al Ain, with community members assisting with the funeral arrangements. Ashima was known as a lively presence at gatherings and was particularly remembered for her bhajans (devotional songs). Aritra was described as a beloved student and son by his school, Future Leaders International Private School Branch 2, which paid tribute to him and his mother on social media.
The deaths have put a halt to planned celebrations, including Durga Puja, as the community grieves the loss of a close-knit family.
