Conductor was driving Suprobhat bus

Senior Correspondent: Detectives said the bus of Suprobhat Paribahan that killed university student Abrar Ahmed Chowhdury was being driven by its conductor.

Additional police commissioner Md Abdul Baten made the disclosure while addressing a press conference on Wednesday noon.

He said the law enforcers arrested the bus driver’s assistant Ibrahim and conductor Yasin on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

“Md Yasin, the conductor driving the bus during the accident does not have a driving licence,” Abdul Baten said.

On March 19, Abrar, a student of Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP), was killed when a bus of Suprabhat ran him over in front of Jamuna Future Park, near Nodda in Dhaka's Bashudhara Residential area.

Later, protesting the incident, agitated students staged demonstration which continued two days.
