Angry protests after road crash kills 1

Road blocked for hrs, vehicles vandalised

Our Correspondent, ctg
Aggrieved students of BGC Trust University Bangladesh blocked the Oxygen-Bayezid road in the port city for four hours yesterday following the killing of a fellow student in a hit-and-run accident right outside the campus.
The students also vandalised several
vehicles including an army bus and three CNG-run three wheelers and 10 motorbikes.
The deceased Dipankar Das Dipu, 23, was a third semester law student of the university. He was son of Narayan Das and fromFeni.
Dipankar was going to the university
on a motorbike when a speeding bus of Cantonment Public School and College, Chittagong hit him near the main gate of the university's Nasirabad campus around 12:00 noon and fled the scene.
“Our mid-term exam was supposed to begin around 12:30pm and Dipu had borrowed the motorbike from his friend Suman to go for a quick spin on it before the exam started,” Abdur Razzak, the victim's classmate told The Daily Star.
Locals and friends of the victim rushed Dipu to the Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) in a critically injured state, where the doctors declared him dead.
Immediately after the accident, furious students of
the university took to the streets and blocked the road, creating severe gridlock. Vehicular movement on both sides of the busy road came to a halt causing suffering to the commuters.
Hundreds of students were seen chanting slogans demanding exemplary punishment to the bus driver. Around 2:45pm a truck filled with more students joined the demonstrators.
Policemen and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) personnel rushed to the spot in numbers to bring the situation under control. Awami League leaders ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury, AJM Nasir Uddin and local ward councillor also arrived to pacify the students.
Later, around 3:30pm a meeting was held among authorities of the university
and Cantonment School and student representatives in presence of law enforcers and senior political leaders at the registrar's office.
During the meeting, the students placed several demands including instant dismissal, arrest and exemplary punishment of driver Shahjahan and providing adequate compensation to the victim's family.
They also insisted on building a foot-bridge, several speed bumps, a signal post and a road-divider in front of the university gate, all of which the authorities assured the students of meeting.
Mohiuddin Selim, offi-cer-in-charge of Bayezid Police Station said the students finally lifted the blockade around 4:30pm.
