A Dhaka University non-residential student transport bus named ‘Kinchit’ was involved in another accident in the Moghbazar area of the capital on Wednesday, May 20, around 3:30 p.m. Several students were injured when the bus hit the Moghbazar flyover, damaging the upper front portion. Witnesses reported that one or two injured students received primary treatment at a nearby pharmacy.

Eyewitness Helal Uddin Rafid shared details of the incident on social media, confirming that the accident occurred during the 3:20 p.m. trip. Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) transport secretary Asif Abdullah said the accident occurred despite having an experienced driver on the route, suggesting negligence. He added that the bus committee and the driver had been contacted, and a request was made to the BRTC authorities to instruct all drivers to be more cautious.

Earlier in mid-April, another Dhaka University student bus met with an accident near the BFDC area of Tejgaon, injuring five to six students. Following consecutive incidents, students have expressed concern and demanded stronger safety measures for the university’s transport system.
