Neutral summary
A Tangail court sentenced three men, Md Altaf, 25, the bus driver; Sagar alias Sajib Matubbar, 24, the conductor; and Md Rabbi, 21, a helper, to life imprisonment for gang-raping a woman on a moving Savar Paribahan bus, according to Public Prosecutor Omrao Khan Dipu. The tribunal judge, ANM Elias, delivered the verdict and fined each convict Tk 2 lakh, with one additional year of rigorous imprisonment in default. The prosecutor said the woman boarded the bus in Dhaka on January 14 bound for Ashulia, and that the three raped her after other passengers got off, robbing her of earrings, cash and a phone. The next day the bus stopped at Karatia underpass in Tangail, where she alerted highway police, who handed the men to Tangail Sadar Police. Inspector Victor Banerjee filed the charge sheet on April 29, and 15 witnesses testified. The convicts were sent to Tangail District Jail.
Where accounts differ. Accounts differ on the bus location: The Daily Star and Jugantor place the rape near Chandra bus stand in Gazipur or on the Dhaka-Tangail highway, while Ajker Patrika says Chandra Bus Stand in Kaliakair; Dainik Sangbad says the woman was alerted the next morning, others say midday.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
