“The driver tried to divert from the route. I told the driver to stop immediately, but he took no heed,” the victim said in her Facebook post.
“The conductor rushed to me and gagged me with my scarf. I had my mobile phone in my right hand. I hit him as hard as I possibly could. Maybe I hit his eyes because he let go. I rushed to the door and jumped off from the moving bus,” the post read.
She later reached home on a rickshaw and said she is traumatised by the incident.
The victim also lodged verbal complaint with CU Proctor Ali Asgar Chowdhury.The proctor said they will provide all necessary support to bring the accused to book.
Mohammad Mohsin, officer-in-charge (OC) of Kotwali Police Station, said they have already started investigation into the matter.
“Three teams of police are working to arrest the accused”, he said, adding that they are trying to obtain CCTV footages to identify the culprits.
Monjurul Alam, President of Chattogram Sarak Paribahan Malik Group said they could not take any steps against the accused as the workers were not a member of their organisation.
