Crash On Airport Road: Charge sheet likely to be placed Monday
The Detective Branch of police is gong to submit a charge sheet on Monday accusing six people for the death of two college students in a road accident in the capital's Airport Road, said a DB official.
The accident triggered a nationwide protest by students, demanding justice of their fellows and safe roads.
Moshiur Rahman, deputy commissioner of DB (north), said they had already completed investigation into the case.
The charge sheet will be submitted against six people -- two drivers, two helpers and two owners of two Jabal-e-Noor Paribahan buses -- before the court on Monday, he told BSS yesterday.
Owners of the buses will be included in the charge sheet as they did not properly scrutinise the bus drivers' driving licences during their appointments, Moshiur added.
Of the six, two drivers, a helper and a bus owner are now in jail, while another bus owner and a helper are on the run, he said, adding that they were trying to arrest them.
Bus driver Masum Billah, his helper Enayet Hossain, owner Shahadat Hossain and driver of another bus allegedly taking part in a race for passengers, Zobair Sumon, his helper Kazi Asad and bus owner Jahangir Alam, will be charged in the case.
On July 29, two students of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College -- Abdul Karim alias Rajib Uddin, 18, and Dia Khanam Mim, 17 -- were run over and killed by a bus during the alleged mad race between two buses on Airport Road.
Of the arrestees, bus driver Masum and its owner Shahadat gave confessional statements under section 164 before the court.
Dia's father filed the case with Cantonment Police Station in connection with the accident.
