HC forms body over compensation

The High Court (HC) formed a three-member committee on Wednesday to identify those responsible for the accident and fix compensation to the family of Rajib Hasan, reports UNB.

Md Mowazzem Hossain, director of Accident and Research Institute of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), will head the committee.

He will nominate another teacher of the institute as a member and 'Nirapad Sorok Chai' chairman Ilias Kanchan will be the other member of the committee.

The HC bench of Justice Salma Masud Chowdhury and Justice AKM Jahirul Hoque passed the order in line with a Supreme Court directive.

The court also asked the committee to submit its report before it by June 30. The HC will pass an order on July 04 on this issue.

Earlier on May 22, the Supreme Court asked the HC to form an independent committee to fix the compensation and find out who's responsible for the accident.

Rajib Hossain, a student of Government Titumir College, who lost his right hand after it got stuck between two buses at Bangla Motor in the city on April 3, succumbed to his injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on April 17.
