“Police and locals doused the fire immediately afterwards,” Tangail Superintendent of Police Sanjit Kumar Roy said. Police escorted two vehicles through the wrong lane at noon, drawing angry reactions from the holidaymakers stranded on the other side, locals said. After sometime, they stopped and torched the vehicle carrying Tangail Executive Magistrate Rokanuzzaman when it took the wrong side, according to the locals. Tangail SP Sanjit said no car was able to enter Sirajganj due to huge pressure of traffic in the morning. “Police are working to ease the traffic jam,” the SP added.
