Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on Saturday detained the driver of a pick-up van that ploughed into a group of nine siblings walking back home from a temple in Cox’s Bazar last week.
Tuesday's tragic accident on Cox's Bazar-Chattogram highway in Chakaria upazila left five brothers dead on the spot and four other siblings were also injured in the accident.
Acting on a tip-off, a RAB team raided Dhaka’s Mohammadpur area in the morning and nabbed the van driver, Shahidul Islam alias Saiful.
Tuesday’s accident occurred around 5:00am near Memorial Christian Hospital in the Malumghat area of Chakaria when the nine siblings were crossing a road, according to eye-witnesses.
