Two buses, including a bus that carries students of Dhaka University, were set afire on Sunday amid the BNP’s 48-hour nationwide blockade.
One bus was set ablaze in front of a police box in Dhaka’s Banglamotor area in the evening.
Two firefighting units were dispatched after the fire service received news of the fire at 6:22pm, fire service official Talha Bin Jashim said.
Riaz Uddin, a witness, said there was no one on the bus, including its driver or his assistant, when it was set on fire.
Earlier in the day, a Choitaly bus, used by Dhaka University students, was set on fire before Govt Bangla College in Mirpur.
No one got hurt because the bus was empty at the time, Choitaly Executive Committee President Arifuzzaman Borshon said.
The bus was going to the depot after dropping off students when it was set aflame, he added.
Masuk Mia, deputy commissioner of the DMP’s Darussalam zone under the Mirpur division, said the police had yet to make any arrests in this connection.
