A Dhaka court yesterday granted an extension in response to a petition filed seeking time to submit a no-confidence petition against the charge sheet in sensational Jubo League leader Riazul Haque Khan Milky murder case.
Complainant in the case and Milky’s brother Maj Rashedul Haque Khan submitted the petition through his counsel Abdullah Al Mansur to the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shahriar Mahmud Adnan.
Following a hearing, the court granted the petition and approved extension to submit the no-confidence petition.
On April 15, RAB submitted the charge sheet against 12 people, with majority being Jubo League men, in the case. The elite force also dropped nine names from the charge sheet.
Milky was gunned down on the night of July 30 last year in front of a shopping mall in the capital’s Gulshan. Milky’s brother filed the case on the same night against 11 named and four-five unnamed men. Milky was the organising secretary of Dhaka City (south) unit Jubo League.
Five of the accused gave confessional statements before court.
