Driver and assistant found dead in truck…….

Rangpur: Police recovered dead bodies of a truck driver and his assistant from the truck’s cabin near VIP Shahadat Cold Storage on the R-K Road in Rangpur on Thursday, reports BSS.
The deceased persons have been identified truck driver Korayesh Khan, reportedly 32 years old, son of late Sonaullah Pramanik of village Nundai and his assistant Ramjan Ali, 43, son of Panaullah of village Nokali under Shahjadpur upazila of Sirajganj.

Police said the driver and helper had started from Dinajpur with the rice-laden truck for Baghabari in Sirajganj at 10:00pm on Tuesday night. But when Rangpur Kotwali police recovered their bodies the rice from the truck was gone at about 8:00am.

‘The miscreants might have tortured and strangled the driver and his assistant and left the truck after looting the rice,’ officer-in-charge of Rangpur Kotwali police Azizul Islam said.
The bodies were handed over to the families of the deceased persons after conducting an autopsy at Rangpur Medical College Hospital.
‘Relatives of the deceased persons have already arrived here and the process of filing a double murder case with Kotwali police is in progress,’ the OC said.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is slightly slower than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro

Apple doesn’t like to talk about specs. But it turns out my boss Matthew Panzarino already has review units of the new iPad Pro and iPhone SE. So nobody is going to stop us if we want to run Geekbench on these new devices. The result is both interesting and unsurprising. While the 9.7-inch iPad Pro features an A9X chip like its big brother, it’s a bit underclocked.


As you can see on these Geekbench screens, the system on a chip runs at 2.16 GHz. Comparatively, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro’s A9X runs at 2.24GHz, leading to higher Geekbench scores. This isn’t the first time Apple underclocked its own processors. The company usually does that for the iPad mini for example. The smaller iPad Pro has a smaller battery, and underclocking the processor is a good way to save battery.


When it comes to RAM, it’s a bit of a surprise as the 9.7-inch iPad Pro only has 2GB of RAM compared to 4GB for the bigger iPad Pro. The iPad Air 2 already had 2GB of RAM and you could feel it when you were multitasking a lot and using multiple Safari tabs. Another detail, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro’s lightning port doesn’t support USB 3 speeds. Standard lightning cables are USB 2 cables, but if you wanted to transfer large videos over lightning using a camera adaptor, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is a better option.
