Miscreants set fire to two parked passenger buses in separate incidents in Savar and Dhamrai under Dhaka district late on Monday (November 9) night.

No casualties were reported in either incident, officials confirmed on Tuesday (November 10) morning.

According to fire service sources, the first incident occurred around 1:00AM on Monday night in front of the Dhamrai Upazila Land Office, where a parked bus was set ablaze. Two firefighting units from the Dhamrai Fire Service rushed to the spot and brought the flames under control by 1:30AM.

Dhamrai Fire Service Station Officer Al-Amin Khan stated that the blaze caused estimated damages of around Tk 3 lakh, adding that initial investigations suggest the fire was an act of sabotage.

Shortly after, at 2:08AM, another fire broke out on a parked Savar Paribahan bus at the Moylar Mor area in Savar municipality. Two units from the Savar Fire Service responded to the scene and extinguished the fire by 2:33AM.

Senior Station Officer of Savar Fire Service Jahangir Alam confirmed that the bus was among 15 to 20 vehicles parked together at the location. Prompt intervention by firefighters prevented the flames from spreading to adjacent vehicles. Authorities suspect arsonists intentionally targeted the bus.
