A Dhaka court on Sunday accepted for hearing a revision case filed against the final report submitted by Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) in a case lodged over the death of film star Salman Shah.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh accepted the case and set October 26 for further hearing in this regard.
The court also sought all the documents in the case, defence counsel Faruk Ahammed said, BSS reported.
The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rashid dismissed the case on October 31, 2021, accepting the final report filed by the investigation agency.
The PBI filed the 600-page final report in the case on February 25, 2020.
PBI chief Banaz Kumar Majumder during the time drew a conclusion on the mysterious death case which remained pending for the last 24 years, saying Salman indeed committed suicide over a family feud.
The PBI interrogated a total of 44 people and testimonies of 10 people had been recorded under Section 164 of the penal code, the police official said.
Salman died on September 6, 1996. Following the death, his father Kamaruddin Ahmed Chowdhury filed an unnatural death (UD) case. He had later pleaded to turn the UD case into murder.
