A Dhaka court has ordered the Criminal Investigation Department to submit 13 the investigation reports in August for the two cases filed over last year’s Rana Plaza collapse in Savar.
Dhaka’s Senior Judicial Magistrate Wasim Sheikh passed the order as the CID failed to submit the report yesterday.
On November 24 last year, a Dhaka court show caused Investigation Officer Bijoy Krishna Khar, an assistant superintendent of police of CID, for failing to submit the probe reports.
Police and a victim’s family filed two murder cases while Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) filed another case against the building owner for constructing the structure using substandard materials and violating building code.
The CID is investigating all the cases and has been asked to deal the two murder cases together. However, since the agency is yet to complete the investigations, proceedings in the cases have been delayed.
In the deadly collapse of April 24 last year, more than 1,138 people mostly female garment workers were killed and over 2,500 injured. The eight-storey building housed five garment factories.
