A Dhaka court on Sunday asked the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) again to submit a probe report by February 2 in a case filed against Bashundhara Group bosses and six others on charges of rape and murder of college student Mosarrat Jahan Munia.

Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rahman Siddique issued the order after Investigation Officer Golam Moktar Ashrafuddin, an inspector at PBI, failed to submit the report on Sunday, the scheduled day for the submission.

On September 6, Munia’s elder sister Nusrat Jahan Tania filed the case with Dhaka’s Eighth Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal against Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan, his son and managing director of the group Sayem Sobhan Anvir, and six others.

The others named in the case are the Bashundhara chairman’s wife Afroza Akter, Anvir’s wife Sabrina Sobhan, showbiz models Faria Mahbub Piasha and Saifa Rahman Mim, flat owner Ibrahim Ahmed Ripon and his wife Sharmin Akhter.

After an initial hearing, Judge Mafruza Parveen asked Gulshan police to accept the allegations as an FIR.

Earlier, Nusrat Jahan Tania had filed a case accusing Anvir of abetting the suicide of Munia. A Dhaka court cleared Anvir of the charges on August 18 after holding a hearing on the final report of the police. The court also rejected the no-confidence petition filed by the plaintiff.

Police recovered Munia’s body, hanging from a ceiling fan, from her flat in the capital’s Gulshan on April 26.
