helper-turned-driver Ramzan Ali of south Rajarkul in Ramu at Sitakunda in Chittagong Friday.

Police produced him before the court of Senior Judicial Magistrate Towhidul Haque yesterday.

In his statement, Ramzan told the court that while he was staying with the truck at a bus terminal in Cox's Bazar on September 29, Rafiq, Harun, Amin, Alam and Ramzan forced him to take them to Ramu around 11:00pm, said Zaker Hossain, an inspector of the Detective Branch of Cox's Bazar Police.

Zaker said in his statement Ramzan said the five picked up people from different areas and boarded them on the truck to go to Ramu.

A mob destroyed 12 pagodas and more than 50 houses in Ramu on the night of September 29. The violence was apparently triggered by a Facebook posting of a photo derogatory to the holy Koran.

#1  We used to have this sort of thing happen all the time when I worked for Triple A Cooper (blessed be their brakes). Usually they were forced to go to, yeah, Dothan, because of hours and such.
