A group of aggrieved locals in Gazipur torched three buses on Thursday as rumour of a garment factory worker's death in a road accident spread.
Sub-Inspector of Naojor Police Station Iqbal Hossain told bdnews24.com that the locals sent garments worker Hazrat Ali, 20, to hospital after he was hit by a bus around 7:45am.
As rumour of his death spread, they took to the highway and set on fire three buses around 8:15am, he said.
The SI said Ali, who hails from Kishoreganj, works at Eva Sweater Factory and was on his way to work when he met with the accident.
"The locals sent him (Ali) to hospital immediately after the accident. We don't have any confirmation of his death," Hossain added.
Fire service members rushed to the spot and doused the flames soon after the incident, an officer at Gazipur Fire Service Station Abu Zafar Ahmed said.
Road communication was snapped for nearly half-an-hour due to the arson.
Traffic resumed around 8:45am when the police removed the torched vehicles from the highway, the officer said.
