Inmates of a Dhaka University dormitory set on fire two buses and vandalised another three on Monday night following an altercation with a bus driver in city's Azimpur area.

The inmates of S M Hall indulged in violence in front of Azimpur Maternity Hospital around 10.30pm.

They brought one of the buses to the university campus before damaging it completely.

Fire service man Farid Uddin told they tamed the blaze around 11pm.

"The incident took place after five students of S M Hall, who got into the bus near the city's Science Lab area, were forced to get down in front of Home Economics College," university proctor Amjad Ali told .

"Those students wanted to travel up to Azimpur," he said and added action will be taken against those found guilty after investigation into the incident.

However, the inmates of the hall alleged that they indulged in violence as they heard that one of the university students had been abducted by the transport owners.
