Commander Khandaker Al Moin, director of Rapid Action Battalion's legal and media wing on Saturday said court allows them time for a more thorough investigation into the sensational murder case of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi.
“Whenever we submit a report, the court decides whether or not the data is self-sufficient. The court also decides if RAB needs more time for an in-depth report,” he told reporters on Saturday.
As the investigation officers, RAB has to submit a progress report of the murder case to court, and then judges decide whether or not more time is needed, he added.
“I have said it before, and I will say it again, we do not want any innocent people to be victims of these sorts of crimes,” he added.
A Dhaka court on October 31 again directed RAB to submit probe report of a case filed over the murder of Sagar and Runi.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rashedul Alam fixed December 1 as the new deadline.
With this, the court has rescheduled the date for the 93rd time.
Maasranga Television news editor Sagar Sarowar and his wife, ATN Bangla senior reporter Meherun Runi, were found dead at their rented apartment in Dhaka's West Rajabazar area on February 11, 2012.
Nousher Ali Roman, brother of Runi, filed a case at Sher-e-Bangla police station the following day.
Law enforcement officials have so far arrested eight people in connection with the double murder.
They are Tanvir, Rafiqul Islam, Bakul Mia, Abu Syed, Mintu alias Baggira Mintu alias Masum Mintu, Quamrul Hasan alias Arun, security guard Enam Ahmed alias Humayun Kabir and Palash Rudra Pal.
