Protests erupted on the Dhaka–Aricha highway after Jahangirnagar University students seized 25 buses in response to a fellow student being pushed off a moving bus.

The victim, Halima Khatun of the Public Administration Department (Batch 50), was thrown off a Capital Transport bus around 5:40 p.m. She sustained severe injuries, including a sprained leg, and was rushed to Enam Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment.

University Proctor Prof. AKM Rashidul Alam condemned the incident as “inhumane,” adding that a meeting with bus owners has been scheduled for Wednesday to decide further action.
