DHAKA, Aug 3, 2022 (BSS) - A writ petition seeking the judicial investigation 
into the recent railway crossing accidents that took place in Mirsarai and 
Gopalganj was filed with the High Court division today. 

Barrister Tapas Kanti Bal, lawyer of the writ petitioner, told BSS that the 
petitioner Mohiuddin Roni, sought directions to investigate these accidents 
under the leadership of a retired judge of the Appellate Division via his 
writ.

An adequate amount of compensation has also been asked for the victims of 
railway crossing accidents in Mirsarai and Gopalganj districts, he added.

Roni, a student of Dhaka University's theatre and performance studies 
department, had been protesting against the mismanagement and corruption of 
the railways since July 7. 

Upon the assurance of proper measures following an investigation by senior 
railway officials, he suspended the protest on July 25.
