Of the six accused, four are now behind bars while Kazi Asad and Jahangir Alam are on the run, he said.
On July 29, Abdul Karim alias Rajib Uddin, 18, and Dia Khanam Mim, 17, of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College were killed by the bus being driven by Masum.
The tragic death took place when the drivers of two buses of the same company were desperately driving on the road in the same direction to overtake the other. It triggered nationwide protest by the students and crying for safe roads.
Among the accused, Masum and bus owner Shahadat gave confessional statements to the court under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Following the students’ agitation, the government and transport owners and workers took several measures to improve road safety, but accidents on roads continue, claiming many lives.
