The victim, Badruzzaman, 28, was an executive of private company Summit group.
Witnesses said that the transport worker pushed Badruzzaman out of the running bus (Dhaka Metro Ja:11-1694) at Matsya Bhaban intersection at about 9:30am after he protested at picking up and dropping passengers in the middle of the road in violation of traffic rules.

His boy was sent to DMCH morgue in the evening for postmortem examination.
