Two men have been arrested after a female student of Cumilla University was sexually harassed, mugged and later thrown off a bus heading towards Chattogram on Friday.
Witnesses detained two of the five attackers, identified as Ali Hossain and Mohammad Ali, and handed them over to police.
The incident sparked a protest by students who blocked the Dhaka-Chattogram highway, causing heavy traffic congestion.
