Kabir Humayun: The members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) yesterday arrested the owner of Faisal Ganjeraj Paribahan over the death of one-year-old toddler Akifa Khatun, who was killed when a bus belonging to the company struck her and her mother.
RAB-8 Commander Additional Superintendent of Police Roisuddin Jainal said Abedin was arrested from his home in Faridpur town at 7am, reports bdnews24.com.
On August 28, Rina Khatun was struck by the Faisal Ganjeraj bus while she was crossing the road at the Chourohash intersection carrying her daughter.
The impact sent Akifa flying out of her mother’s arms. She later succumbed to her injuries on August 30 while undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
The incident was recorded on the CCTV camera of a nearby jewellery store.
Akifa’s father, vegetable trader Harunur Rashid, filed a case against the Faisal Ganjeraj owner, the bus driver Khokon Mia and his helper over the death of his daughter.
Additional SP Roisuddin said the law enforcers are still working to apprehend the other two suspects.
