Dhaka College students blocked 30 buses after a student was thrown out from bus over fare

A student from the Political Science Department of Dhaka College was allegedly pushed and thrown off a bus by a helper of VIP Transport for requesting to pay half the fare. Following the incident, students blocked 30 VIP Transport buses in front of the college’s main gate starting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. The victimized student said, "I boarded the VIP bus from Azimpur to come to the college. The helper argued with me when I asked for half the fare as I was getting off. At one point, he pushed me as I was exiting the bus. I got injured in my leg and hand and am currently receiving treatment at Dhaka Medical." Dhaka College Principal AKM Elias said, "We have been informed of the incident and have notified the Newmarket Police Station. The authorities are investigating the matter. However, it is not right for the students to take justice into their own hands."
