Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) said the mechanical fault as the reason for fire in the single cabin police pick-up van in front of Ramna Police Station in the city yesterday.
“It is just an accident. We humbly request everyone not to spread any confusion about this,” DMP said in a statement.
The statement said, despite repeated attempts of a mechanic the vehicle could not be made roadworthy. At one point, the vehicle’s engine overheated and caught fire, causing the worker to sustain minor inju-ries.
Saying the incident purely an accidental one, DMP requested all not to spread misinformation on social media regarding the matter.
The statement also said that earlier in the morning, a microbus caught fire due to a mechanical fault on the Airport Road in the capital.
