Four buses have been set on fire in four days in Dhamrai, Dhaka.

At about 1am on Monday night (9 November), arsonists set fire to a bus of the Hamza Brothers transport company in front of the Dhamrai land office. No casualties were reported in any of the incidents.

The fire service said the Hamza Brothers bus caught fire while parked in front of the Dhamrai land office at night. Two units from the Dhamrai fire station brought the fire fully under control after about 45 minutes. The bus was used to carry workers of a garment factory in the DEPZ area of Ashulia from Dhulivita.

Dhamrai fire station’s station officer Al Amin Khan said the bus is believed to have been set on fire as an act of sabotage. The fire caused Tk 3 lakh of damage, but goods worth about Tk 5 lakh were saved from the bus.
