The probe report submission date in a case filed over the 2012 killing of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi has been postponed for the 100th time. 

A Dhaka court has extended the deadline for submission of the probe report till September 9,  after the Rapid Action Battalion's investigating officer failed to submit the report.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Rashidul Alam fixed the new date.

Sagar, news editor at the private TV channel Maasranga, and his wife, Runi, senior reporter at ATN Bangla, were killed on February 11, 2012, in their rented flat in the capital's West Razabazar area. 

Their only son, Mahir Sarowar Megh, then 5, was home at that time. 

Nousher Ali Roman, brother of Runi, filed a case at Sher-e-Bangla police station the following day in connection with the murders.
