Unidentified criminals set fire to a students' bus on Rajshahi University campus in the wee hours of yesterday. The entire bus was damaged before firefighters reached the spot. Two night guards at the bus stand Saidur Rahman and Obaidur Rahman said they suddenly saw the bus in flames around 12:10am. Firefighters said the criminals used gunpowder to burn the vehicle. Meanwhile, pro-Awami League student body Bangladesh Chhatra League accused Jamaat-e-Islami backed Islami Chhatra Shibir of the arson. Chhatra League men also demonstrated on the campus yesterday noon protesting the attack. Chhatra Shibir leaders, however, denied the allegation and instead pinned the blame on Chhatra League men. RU Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof Muhammad Nurullah and Proctor Prof Chowdhury Muhammad Zakaria visited the scene around 12:15am and said the authorities would form a committee to investigate the incident. Motihar Police Station OC Anisur Rahman said they would investigate the incident after receiving complaint from the RU authorities.
