A Dhaka court yesterday deferred until June 28 the submission of probe reports in three cases filed over the 2013 collapse of Rana Plaza in Savar.
Dhaka Judicial Magistrate Md Shahinur Rahman set the new date after Bijoy Krishna Khar, a Criminal Investigation Department officer who is investigating the three cases, failed to submit the reports yesterday.
On April 15, the court asked the CID to submit the reports by yesterday.
On April 24, 2013, Rana Plaza, which housed five garment factories, crumbled, leaving more than 1,100 people, mostly garment workers, dead and another 2,000 injured.
One of the three cases was filed by Rajuk official Helaluddin against Rana, owner of the collapsed building, for faults found in the multi-storey structure and for constructing it with second-rate materials.
Another case was filed by police with Savar police station against Rana, his father Abdul Khalek and owners of the garment factories housed in the nine-storey building for the loss of lives.
The other case was lodged by the family of a victim with a Dhaka court.
A total of 22 people, including Rana, were arrested in connection with the cases and 14 of them, including Khalek, have been released on bail.
