A Dhaka court on Sunday again asked Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) to submit the probe report on July 26 in a case filed over the sensational murder of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi in 2012.
Metropolitan Magistrate M Khorshed Alam passed the order after Assistant Superintendent of Police of RAB Mohiuddin Ahamed, also investigation officer of the case, failed to submit the report before the court on Sunday, the scheduled day for submission of the report.
Journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and his wife Meherun Runi were killed at their West Rajabazar rented flat in the capital on February 11, 2012.
Sagar was the news editor of private TV station Maasranga and his wife Runi was the senior reporter of another private TV channel ATN Bangla.
Following the murder, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police started an investigation into the case filed in this connection. Later, the case was shifted to DB police. However, on April 18, 2012, the High Court, in an order, shifted the case to RAB for investigation as the former had expressed its inability to resolve the case.
At least eight suspects were arrested in this connection. They are Rafiqul Islam, Bakul Miah, Masum Mintu, Kamrul Hasan alias Arun, Abu Sayeed, two security guards of the couple’s house Palash Rudra Paul and Enamul Hoque and the couple’s family friend Tanveer Rahman.
