Dhaka, December 29: Police have filed a chargesheet against SM Darus Salam, a microbus driver, for running over mountaineer Reshma Nahar Ratna from the side while she was cycling on Lake Road near Chandrima Udyan in the capital's Parliament House area.
Besides, another accused Md. Naeem was asked to be excused from the case as there was no evidence to prove his guilt. Monday (December 26) Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Court General Registration Officer Sub-Inspector of Police Md. Assad has confirmed the matter.
He said that on October 5, the investigating officer of the case, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Sub-Inspector (unarmed) Md. Mubarak Ali, filed the chargesheet in the case with 20 witnesses. Another accused Naeem was asked to be excused from the case as he could not find any evidence to prove his guilt.
He added that on Monday (December 26), Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Zulfiqar Hayat transferred the case to the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ziaur Rahman. The case is scheduled to be heard on January 4.
In the chargesheet, the investigating officer said, "After reviewing the video, I saw two black / gray microbuses entering the Ganobhaban crossing at the time of the incident."
At that time, the victim, mountaineer Reshma Nahar Ratma took a U-turn on her bicycle to go from left to right of the road. Then the road became empty and two cars were going at a reckless speed. Then a microbus behind Ratna braked and left. However, another vehicle behind the vehicle hit Ratna's bicycle while passing through the right side of the vehicle.
