Police have arrested another driver and seized a Toyota microbus in connection with the death of mountaineer Reshma Nahar Ratna. This announcement has been made to the media by additional deputy commissioner (ADC) of Tejgaon Police Division, Rubayet.
The driver's name is Darus Salam. Police arrested him two days ago from the Shahjahanpur area of the capital. He has already been placed on two-day remand; today is the second day.
Earlier, another driver named Nayem was arrested and put on remand. Police also seized the the Hiace microbus that Nayem was driving and which apparently ran over and killed young mountaineer Reshma.
Police said, Nayem did not give any confessional statement under section 164 at the end of remand. Nayem's microbus and Darus Salam's microbus were seen side by side in the CCTV footage, that's why Darus Salam was arrested and put on remand.
The two drivers will be interrogated face to face, police sources said.
Young mountaineer Reshma was killed after a microbus hit her bicycle on Lake Road near the Jatiya Sangsad in Dhaka on the morning of August 7.
