Driver, 2 others sued over attempted rape in Turag Bus

A case has been filed with Gulshan Police Station against unidentified three people for attempting to rape a women student of Uttara University on a moving bus of Turag transport on Badda road in Dhaka. 

Husband of the victim filed the case under 10/30 article of women and children repression act on Sunday afternoon. 

Unidentified three people including driver and helper of the bus were made accused in the case. 

Confirming the news, Officer-in-charge of Gulshan police station Abu Bakar told Jago News that we are trying to identify the culprits. They will be arrested whenever they be identified.  

According to her classmates, the student was ‘sexually harassed’ while coming to her campus at Uttara sector-6 by a bus of Turag transport services on Saturday afternoon. 

There were 7 to 8 passengers in the bus. The bus helper told all passengers to leave the bus while it reached Badda as the bus won’t go anymore.

The helper of the bus attempted to hold the girl while she was trying to leave the bus after realizing their bad intention. At a moment after scuffling, she jumped off the bus.

Later, she informed the matter to her classmates and the university authority. 

Agitated students of Uttara University on Sunday staged a human-chain demanding the arrest of helper and driver of the bus and seized keys of 50 buses of Turag transports.

A classmate of the victim Ashikul Islam said that they will continue the movement until the culprits be arrested.
