Kabir Humayun: A Dhaka court yesterday placed the two drivers and two helpers of Jabal-e-Noor Paribahan on a seven-day remand each in a case filed over the death of two students in a road accident on Airport Road on July 29. The bus drivers are Jubair and Sohag Ali and two helpers are Md Ripon and Md Enayet.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Kaisarul Islam passed the order rejecting their bail prayers and appeals for cancellation of their remand, reports The Daily Star.
Earlier in the day, Inspector of Detective Branch of police Qazi Shariful Islam, also the investigation officer of the case, produced them before the court with a 10-day remand prayer for each of them.
On July 29, two students of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College – Abdul Karim alias Rajib Uddin and Dia Khanam Mim – were run over during a competition between two buses of Jabal-e-Noor Paribahan on Dhaka’s Airport Road.
The two buses were immediately torched, and what followed was a wave of Dhaka-wide protests by the students in demand of justice for their fellows and road safety.
