DHAKA, Sept 9, 2019 (BSS) – The defence in case lodged over deaths of
college students Abdul Karim Razib and Dia Khanam Mim in a road accident in
capital’s Airport Road area in July, 2018, is continuing cross examination of
investigation officer (IO) Qazi Shariful Islam.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Imrul Qayes adjourned the hearing till
September 30 as the defence failed to conclude IO’s cross-examination.

A total of 37 witnesses out of 41 have so far testified in the case.

The IO on September 6, 2018, filed charge sheet in the case.

On July 29, 2018, two students of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College
-Razib and Dia- were run over during a mad race between two buses of Jabal-e-
Noor Paribahan on Dhaka’s Airport Road.

Agitated people torched the two buses and triggered a widespread protest
by the students demanding justice for their fellows and road safety.

Dia’s father Jahangir Hossain Fakir filed a case with Cantonment Police
Station to this end.
