Man ‘pushed off bus’ to death
A man was killed on the airport road in Dhaka, as a driver’s helper allegedly pushed him from a moving bus on Saturday evening.
The victim, 24-year-old Md Harun, is a painter who lived in Atibazar area of Keranigaj. He got married six months ago, said police.
Quoting witnesses on the road, Banani Police Station’s Sub-Inspector Rajibul Hasan said Harun took a bus of Kheya Paribahan from Mohakhali to his in-law’s house in Sherpur. As the sun set, he wanted to stop for taking iftar.
But the bus didn’t stop, and the helper pushed him off the vehicle, said the SI, adding that they seized the bus from Khilkhet area and arrested driver Bahadur Ali, 44. His helper Alam is on the run.
Police produced him before a Dhaka court yesterday with a five-day remand prayer. The court granted police one-day remand, said SI Rajibul.
