Members of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) have detained two drivers and two helpers of the buses responsible for the road accident, which left two students dead on the Airport Road in Dhaka yesterday.

A team of Rab-1 conducted the drive yesterday and detained the four, the elite force said in an SMS.

To the horror of passersby, two students of the Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College were killed on the spot yesterday as the driver of a bus ploughed into the crowd near the ramp of the Airport Road flyover adjacent to the Armed Forces Medical College in Kurmitola.

At least nine others were injured after being hit or run over.
