It urged all not to get confused with such fake news.

On Sunday, Diya Khanam Mim and Abdul Karim Rajib, students of the college section of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin School and College, were killed as a Jabal-e-Noor Paribahan bus (Dhaka Metro B 11-9297) ploughed through some students in front of Kurmitola General Hospital on Airport Road in the capital.

The tragic accident sparked off huge student protests across the country that were continuing for the fifth consecutive day on Thursday.
