Students in Barishal staged a road blockade on Thursday noon demanding the arrest and swift trial of the autorickshaw driver responsible for the death of schoolgirl Chaiti. The protest took place in front of Sher-e-Bangla Girls’ School on BM College Road, halting traffic for about an hour and causing severe congestion. Barishal City Corporation Administrator Advocate Bilkis Akter Jahan Shirin arrived at the scene and assured the students that the accused driver would be arrested and brought before the school, and that illegal autorickshaw operations in the city would be stopped. Following her assurance, the students returned to class.
Administrator Shirin also stated that allegations of medical negligence in Chaiti’s death would be investigated and that anyone found responsible would face consequences. Local residents said Chaiti was fatally injured when a battery-run autorickshaw hit her while crossing the road after school on Wednesday. She was taken to Barishal General Hospital and later to Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital, where she died late at night. Locals alleged that similar incidents had occurred before without justice.
Police said the body was handed over to the family without autopsy as no complaint was filed.
