in the area, leaving motorcycle rider Tanvir and his wife critically injured 
on the street.

The wounded were rushed to Khulna Medical College and Hospital (KMCH) where

Tanvir, son of Mohiuddin Sheikh, of Bhadgati area under Batiaghata upazila, 
was coming home along with his wife riding by a motorcycle, the OC said. 

"Locals obstructed the bus from the spot just after the accident and handed 
it over to the police," he said, adding that the bus driver managed to flee 
the scene.

A case was filed in this connection, the OC concluded.
