The picnic bus that plunged into a roadside ditch in Jessore on January 15 killing eight primary schoolstudents, did not have a fitness certificate, one of the three probe bodies, formed in connection with the accident, has found.
The probe body formed by the district administration, headed by additional district magistrate Sabina Yeasmin, has already submitted its report.
The two other bodies have not yet submitted their reports.
Mostafizur Rahman, deputy commissioner of Jessore, said he was yet to read the report.
Ashraqur Rahman, BRTA assistant director, said the tenure of the fitness certificate for the vehicle bearing plate number Rajshahi Metra-Ja-11-0080 expired on September 25, 2013.
