In a shocking turn of events, the supervisor and assistant of a bus have confessed to their involvement in the killing of a passenger on the Dhaka Elevated Expressway. The body of the victim, found with scotch tape wrapped around his mouth and other body parts, has led to a murder case being filed.

The victim, Ismail Hossain, left Jamalpur for his home in Gazipur on September 4, carrying Tk 5 lakh in cash from the sale of ancestral land.

Police recovered Ismail's body from the Kakli-to-Kuril-bound lane of the Dhaka Elevated Expressway, between pillars 179 and 180, in the Banani area. The Tk 5 lakh in cash and the goods he was carrying were missing. Injury marks were found on his body, and his nose, head, and right wrist were bound with white scotch tape.
