Providing details of the incident, minister Chowdhury wrote on Facebook, “A Shyamoli Paribahan bus, carrying Indian passengers, was deliberately targeted on Bishwa Road. A truck transporting goods collided with the bus, seemingly to cause an accident. Simultaneously, an auto-rickshaw abruptly came in front of the bus, resulting in another collision. Following this, local residents gathered around the scene and began threatening the passengers. They shouted anti-India slogans, made provocative remarks, and even issued threats to the lives of the passengers. This left the travellers deeply shaken and fearful.”
