The High Court yesterday observed that the charge sheet in Narayanganj seven-murder case was defective, and asked the lawyers concerned to find out its faults.
The bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Amir Hossain also said the police can submit a supplementary charge sheet of the case to the lower court concerned.
The court said this during the hearing on a revision petition filed by Selina Islam, wife of murdered Narayanganj city panel mayor Nazrul Islam, who sought the High Court’s order on the police to conduct further investigation into the case.
The court asked her lawyers – Abdul Baset Majumder and Montu Ghosh – and also the Deputy Attorney General Shaikh AKM Moniruzzaman Kabir to examine whether there was any element in the petition upon which the court could order the police to conduct further probe.
Before adjourning the hearing until December 6, the court also said the culprits might benefit if the trial proceedings were delayed for a long period.
During yesterday’s hearing, Baset Majumder prayed to the court for its direction to the police to conduct a further investigation and to take prime accused Nur Hossain on remand for interrogation.
Nur Hossain, who had been hiding in India following the murder, was brought back to Bangladesh recently.
The seven people were abducted from the Dhaka-Narayanganj link road on April 27 last year, and their bodies were found floating in the Shitalakkhya river a few days later.
