The High Court on Monday ordered the superintendent of police in Manikganj to suspend sub-inspector Masudur Rahman, the investigation officer in the Rubel murder case, for conducting a defective investigation and providing false information before the court.
The court also ordered Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to further investigate the murder through an official of a rank not lower than superintendent of police and submit the report within 60 days.
Manikganj Sadar Police Station's SI Masudur Rahman appeared before the High Court bench of Justice Md Badruzzaman and Justice SM Masud Hossain Dolon, along with the case docket (all documents of the case including charge sheet) of Rubel's murder.
