Bus driver, helper, supervisor to die for death of NSU student

A Dhaka court sentenced three men to death on Sunday for killing North South University (NSU) student Saidur Rahman Payel, reports UNB.
Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal-1 Judge Abu Zafar Mohammad Kamruzzaman handed down the verdict in presence of the convicts.
The convicts are -- 'Hanif Paribahan' bus driver Jamal Hossain, his assistant Foysal Hossain and supervisor Md Jony.
Fifth semester NSU student Payel, son of Golam Mawla of Halishahar in Chattogram, was found dead in a canal at Bhaterchar in Gazaria upazila of Munshiganj on July 23, 2018.
A case was filed against three people, the driver, helper and supervisor of 'Hanif Paribahan' bus, at Gazaria Police Station the next day.
Jony, the supervisor, confessed to his involvement in the killing after his arrest from Motijheel. Police later arrested bus driver Jamal and helper Faisal from Arambagh in the capital.
On April 2 last year, a tribunal framed charges against the trio and finished hearing arguments on October 04.
On July 25, 2018, Jony gave a detailed account of the murder. He told the court that the Dhaka-bound bus from Chattogram was stuck in a tailback at Bahterchar on Dhaka-Chattogram Highway in the early hours of July 22, 2018.
At that time, Payel got down from the bus to respond to the call of nature. As the bus started moving when the traffic jam eased, Payel started running to catch the bus.
