When contacted later, Mohammadpur area DMP assistant commissioner Azizul Haq told Prothom Alo that after the bus caught fire, a person came running from there and entered an under-construction building there.
This police officer believes that the man died after falling from one building while trying to jump to another building. However, they cannot confirm any details until the investigation is complete.
But BNP claims that the man was beaten to death and pushed down from the roof. Dhaka City North BNP member secretary, Aminul Haq, said that Abdur Rasheed was beaten and killed by Awami League leaders and workers when he was returning from a strike procession.
