A passenger bus has caught fire in front of the Bangladesh Television (BTV) building gate in Dhaka.

Authorities confirmed that no one was injured in the blaze.

Rakibul Hasan, duty officer at the Fire Service control room, said two units were dispatched after receiving reports of the fire on the Victor Transport bus. They brought the flames under control.
