Student protest continues over examinee’s death

Students from several educational institutions have continued staging demonstrations in the capital's Rampura to protest the death of SSC candidate Mainuddin Islam Durjoy in a road accident.

The protest started at 11am on the Rampura bridge defying police obstruction.

The students refused to leave the road until their demands are fully met when police tried to clear the road talking with the protesters.

Earlier on Tuesday, students staged a demonstration blocking Rampura bridge protesting the accident.

Durjoy was killed not even a week after another student of Notre Dame College was killed by being hit by a garbage truck of Dhaka South City Corporation in Gulistan on 24 November.

Earlier, nine buses were torched by a mob at Rampura on Monday night after Durjoy was killed.

Durjoy, a student of Rampura Ekramunnessa High School, was an SSC candidate and also a tea vendor at Rampura Bazar.
