A Dhaka court yesterday fixed September 2 for passing an order as to whether it would indict the eight accused, including militant outfit Ansarullah Bangla Team Chief Mufti Jasimuddin Rahmani, in blogger Rajib’s murder case.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions judge Md Jahirul Haque set the date for the next hearing in the murder case.
Earlier, the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court (CMM) of Dhaka sent the case documents to the Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court for its disposal.
Ahmed Rajib Haider, also an activist of Shahbagh movement, was hacked to death in the capital’s Pallabi on February 15 last year.
On January 28, detectives submitted a charge sheet to the Dhaka CMM court against Mufti Jasimuddin Rahmani and seven former students of North South University. The charge sheet mentioned Jasimuddin as the “instigator” and Redwanul Azad Rana, one of the seven accused, as the “planner”.
Rana is on the run while Jasimuddin and the other six - Md Faisal Bin Nayem, Maksudul Hasan, Md Ehsan Reza, Nayem Sikdar alias Iraj, Nafis Imtiaz and Sadman Yaseer Mahmud - are now behind bars.
