A Dhaka court is set to deliver its verdict today (Sunday) in a case filed over a road crash that killed two students Abdul Karim Rajib and Dia Khanam Mim of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College in the city’s Airport Road area in July, 2018.

Judge KM Imrul Kayes of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court is scheduled to pronounce the verdict at 3:00pm, according to court sources.

Earlier on November 14, Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s court fixed December 1 to pass the verdict as both defence and the prosecution concluded their arguments in the case on that day.

The court examined 37 witnesses including investigation officer (IO) Qazi Shariful Islam of the total 41 witnesses.

The IO on September 6, 2018, filed charge sheet in the case.

On July 29, 2018, two students– Rajib and Dia– of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College were run over during a mad race between two buses of Jabal-e-Noor Paribahan on Dhaka’s Airport Road.

Agitated people torched the two buses and triggered a widespread protest by the students demanding justice for their fellows and road safety.

Dia’s father Jahangir Hossain Fakir filed the case with Cantonment Police Station to this end.
