Raju Ahmed Shipon, a truck driver responsible for the deaths of three family members in Mymensingh's Trishal Upazila, had no licence to drive a heavy vehicle. He lost his driving licence for a medium-sized vehicle six years ago, reports bdnews24.com.
The documents of the truck were invalid too, RAB spokesman Commander Khandaker Al Moin said at a media briefing in Dhaka on Tuesday.
The RAB official also revealed how Shipon managed to flee the scene by boarding a bus and a truck after the incident. He was eventually arrested in Savar on Monday.
Shipon secretly boarded a bus after the angry protesters cordoned off the truck after the incident. After reaching a bypass in Mymensingh, he went to Muktagachha by autorickshaw. He took another bus and went into hiding with the help of other drivers in Tangail's Elenga. Then he used a truck to travel to Savar.
The driver claimed that he had been transporting mangoes and potatoes almost without a break from Rajshahi's Bagha Upazila since the second day of the Eid celebrations.
"He took a short break and drove the vehicle restlessly until the crash," Moin said.
The RAB also found the truck's tax document and fitness certificate invalid.
