A government investigation committee has found the driver of the
Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) bus responsible for the
accident that led to amputation of senior journalist Nikhil Bhadra's
leg.
"The investigation found the bus driver responsible for the accident," convener of the committee Moinuddin told the media after submitting the report to the communications secretary on Monday.
He said the committee has made a few recommendations in their report, including sending Nikhil Bhadra abroad for an artificial limb.
The five-member investigation committee was formed on Dec 28 by the communications ministry to look into the issue following the accident in front of the National Press Club.
Dhaka Reporters' Unity president Shakhawat Hossain Badshah was the journalists' representative in the committee. The other members represented the government, BRTC and Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA).
Obaidul Quader had earlier told the media that the driver, if found responsible for the accident, would receive the highest punishment in line with recommendations from the committee.
Bhadra is a senior reporter with Bengali daily 'Kaler Kantha'. His colleagues had demonstrated for over five hours soon after the accident on Oct 28, demanding arrest of the bus driver who had hit and wounded him.
Pallabi police arrested the driver the following day.
