A Dhaka court has set October 22 for the hearing of the charge framing against six people in the case filed over the deaths of two college students in a road accident on Airport Road on July 29.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate KM Imrul Kayes set the date on Monday.
Earlier on October 7, law enforcers pressed charges against the six accused in the case.
The accused are Shahadat Hossain, owner of Jabal-e-Noor Paribahanbus responsible for the accident, its driver Masum Billah, his assistant Enayet Hossain, owner of another Jabal-e-Noor bus – which was racing with the first bus – Jahangir Alam, its driver Zobair Sumon, and his assistant Asad.
Of the six, Asad and Jahangir Alam are on the run.
On July 29, Diya Khanam Mim and Abdul Karim Rajib, first year students of the college section of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment School and College, were killed when a bus ploughed through some students in front of Kurmitola General Hospital on Airport Road in Dhaka.
The accident triggered widespread protest by students demanding safe roads and seeking justice for their fellows.
