Shortly into the journey, a middle-aged Bengali man sitting near the front of the bus allegedly used the excuse of smoking a cigarette to change seats, moving directly behind the student. He then began making inappropriate advances and attempted to molest her.<\/p>\n<p>When the student fiercely protested, the bus crew intervened and forced the suspect off the vehicle in the Hathazari area.<\/p>\n<p>However, the ordeal did not end there. The suspect reportedly hailed a CNG-powered autorickshaw to bypass traffic, intercepted the bus further down the road in Fatikchhari, and boarded it again. He then grabbed the student by her hair and violently tried to drag her off the bus.<\/p>\n<p>Other passengers quickly stepped in to restrain the attacker. Eyewitnesses noted that the situation could have escalated severely had the passengers not intervened immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Local residents and passengers detained the suspect on the spot and handed him over to the Fatikchhari Police Station. The victim has filed a formal written complaint, and law enforcement officials have assured her that strict legal action will be taken.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chittagong, CHT News Friday, July 24, 2026 A female indigenous student from Chittagong University was reportedly subjected to an attempted molestation and later physically assaulted on a local bus traveling along the Chittagong-Khagrachhari highway on Friday afternoon, July 24, 2026.
