The Chinese firm gave IFS CON Bangladesh Limited the order to supply heavy equipment for the project. The Bangladeshi firm didn’t have any heavy crane in their stock, so they hired a light crane from third party Build Trade Company Limited. During questioning, it was known Crane Operator Al Amin didn’t have a license to operate heavy vehicles. After receiving training to operate cranes in 2016 and working in 2-3 small scale projects, Al Amin started working for the BRT project in 2022. Rakib started working for the BRT project in May. Both of them had fled from the spot after the incident. Legal steps will be taken against the detainees, it said.
