Death of infant Akifa: Bus driver put on two-day remand

A court here on Wednesday placed ‘Ganj-e-raj Paribahan’ bus driver Mahit Mia on a two-day remand in a case filed over the death of a baby girl in a road accident in the district town on August 28. Senior Judicial Magistrate MM Morshed passed the order when Sub-inspector Sumon Quaderi of Kushtia Model Police Station, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, produced him before the court with a five-day remand prayer, reports the UNB. On September 12, members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Mahit Mia alias Khokon from Bangeswari area in Faridpur sadar upazila after a court here cancelled his bail order in the case. Senior Judicial Magistrate MM Morshed issued arrest warrants against the bus owner and its driver following a petition filed by the IO on September 11. Earlier on September 9, the magistrate granted bail to bus owner Joynal Abedin and the driver in the case. A RAB team arrested the bus owner from his house in Faridpur district town on September 9. Besides, Khokon surrendered before the court on September 10.
