Conductor was at the wheel of the bus: DB
Not the driver, but the conductor of a Victor Classic Paribahan bus was at the wheel when the vehicle ran over and killed singer and music composer Parvez Rob on September 5, detectives said yesterday.
Driver Md Sumon had asked conductor Md Aktar to drive the vehicle while he was sitting beside around 10am on that day when the accident occurred, said Mashiur Rahman, deputy commissioner of Detective Branch (North Division) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
DB police revealed the information yesterday, following the arrest of the driver and conductor on Friday.
Sumon was arrested in a drive in Narayanganj’s Masdair Bazar area under Fatullah Police Station yesterday, while Aktar was held from Shariatpur’s Dinara area under Naria Police Station, Mashiur said.
Meanwhile, a Dhaka court yesterday placed the duo on a two-day remand, after police produced them before the court with a 10-day remand prayer. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahmuda Akter passed the order.
The recklessly-driven Victor Classic Paribahan bus ran over and killed Parvez Rob when he was trying to board another bus in the capital’s Turag.
Later, the victim’s wife filed a case with Turag Police Station in this connection.
Two days later, his son Yamin Alvi and some of his friends spotted another bus of the same company in Uttara. When they tried to stop it, the vehicle hit them, badly injuring Alvi and killing one of his friends instantly, police and family members said.
Another case was filed with Uttara West Police Station in connection with the incident.
