Court gives RAB more time to submit report

A Dhaka court yesterday fixed June 29 for the submission before it of the probe report of the journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi murder case.

Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Erfanullah fixed the date as the investigation officer had failed to submit the report yesterday.

Sagar, news editor of private TV station Maasranga, and his wife Runi, a senior reporter of ATN Bangla, were killed in the small hours on February 11, 2012 at their rented apartment in the capital’s West Rajabazar.

Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police started investigations into the case.

Later the case was shifted to the DB police. However, the High Court ordered the case to be shifted to elite force RAB for investigation as the former had expressed its inability to resolve the case.
