Police in Tangail have arrested three men, including a bus driver and his assistants, for allegedly gang-raping a college student on a moving bus along the Dhaka–Tangail highway. The arrests were made on Thursday afternoon near the Korotia underpass area, where the bus was also seized. The detainees were identified as driver Altaf, 25, and assistants Rabbi, 21, and Sagor, 24.
According to Elenga Highway Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md. Sharif, the incident occurred late Wednesday night when the victim, a philosophy student from Mirpur Government Bangla College, boarded a Savar Paribahan bus from Radio Colony in Savar to Ashulia. After other passengers disembarked, the suspects allegedly detained her, robbed her of jewelry, money, and mobile phone, and then drove the bus to different locations while assaulting her throughout the night. They also recorded the assault on video.
Police discovered the crime when they stopped the bus for questioning after noticing it parked suspiciously on the highway. The victim was rescued and taken to Tangail Sadar Police Station. Journalists later reported being obstructed by police when attempting to gather information and photographs related to the case.
