The injured student’s name is Shahida Sultana. She is a student of the zoology department of the university in the 2017-18 academic year.

The incident took place at around 10 am on Wednesday (December 22) at Gulistan intersection in the capital. While waiting for a rickshaw at Gulistan junction to reach the campus, a bus of Dishari Paribahan (Dhaka Metro-B11-9350) pushed Shahida from behind. At that time Shahida fell due to the push of the bus. Although she survived but she was injured.

Her classmates then brought her to the university’s medical center. After initial treatment there, she was sent to Sir Salimullah Medical College (Midfort Hospital) for treatment.

In this regard, the university’s director of student welfare, Professor Dr. Ainul Islam said the injured student was sent to Midfort Hospital in the university’s own ambulance after initial treatment. Examination and treatment will be arranged there.

University Proctor. Mostafa Kamal said, “I have contacted everyone including the police and traffic department. I have sent them the bus number. The entire cost of the student’s treatment must be borne by the owner of the directional transport. They should also apologize for such incidents.”
