Robbers have swooped in on a long-haul passenger bus on the Dhaka-Tangail-Jamuna Bridge Highway, whisking away valuables and allegedly harassing female passengers sexually during the act. One of the passengers started a case over the incident with the Tangail Sadar Police Station. Along the way, several robbers boarded the bus, posing as passengers from several locations along the highway and later took control of the vehicle. One of the passengers, 52-year-old Afaz Uddin from Bogura’s Adamdighi Upazila, alleged that the robbers had “molested” the female passengers under the pretence of searches for money and valuables. Earlier, on Feb 17, a similar robbery and harassment of female passengers occurred on a Unique Royals passenger bus on the highway.
