A Dhaka court on Thursday granted permanent bail to Amatullah Bushra in a case filed over Buet student Fardin Noor Parash's death.
Metropolitan Magistrate Shanto Islam Mallik granted her permanent bail and fixed April 16 as the next hearing of the case.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, a hearing was scheduled for the final report given by the Detective Branch of Police seeking the acquittal of Amatullah Bushra from the case.
However, Fardin's father Kazi Nooruddin Rana filed a petition seeking time to file a no-confidence petition against the DB report clearing Bushra of murder charges.
Kazi Nooruddin, the complainant in the Fardin murder case, in the petition said he rejected the probe report and he would file a no-confidence petition against it on the next scheduled date.
He has also filed another petition for the certified copies of all documents of the case.
On this day, Fardin's father Nooruddin Rana, the plaintiff in the case, requested time to file a complaint.
The court granted his time petition and fixed April 16 for the next hearing.
Detective Branch Inspector Yasin Shikder, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, on February 6 submitted the final report to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.
In the report, the IO said Fardin died by suicide in November last year and that he was not killed.
On December 15 last year, Additional Commissioner (Detective Branch) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Mohammad Harunur Rashid said they would give a report to the court that Bushra has no connection with the death of Fardin.
Bushra was arrested from her Banasree home in Dhaka on November 10 soon after the recovery of Fardin's body. She was sent to jail after expiry of her five-day remand on November 16.
After a long 38-day investigation, the DB chief said on December 14 that Fardin roamed alone in different areas of Dhaka before he went missing.
“Fardin was not murdered, he committed suicide by jumping into the river from Sultana Kamal Bridge on November 4 out of desperation,” he said.
Fardin was a third-year student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology's civil engineering department and a resident of Qutubpur area in Narayanganj's Fatullah.
Police recovered Fardin's body from the Shitalakhkhya River, behind a cotton mill at Siddhirganj, on November 7, three days after he went missing.
Sheikh Farhad, a physician at Narayanganj General Hospital where the autopsy was done, said there were several injury marks on Fardin's head and body.
Fardin's father filed a case in connection with his son's killing with Rampura police station on the same day and the case was later transferred to Detective Branch (DB) Police.
