A Dhaka court has once again deferred the submission of the investigation report in the Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi murder case, setting a new date of November 30.
On Sunday (September 14), Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Minhajur Rahman fixed the new date as the report was not submitted. This marks the 121st deferral since the killings.
On February 11, 2012, journalist couple Sagar Sarowar, news editor at Maasranga Television, and Meherun Runi, senior reporter at ATN Bangla, were murdered at their rented apartment in West Rajabazar, Dhaka. Their four and a half year old son, Megh, was at home at the time. Runi’s brother, Nowshad Alam, filed the case with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
The accused in the case are Rafiqul Islam, Bokul Mia, Masum Mintoo, Kamrul Islam alias Arun, Abu Saeed, security guards Palash Rudra Pal and Enayet Ahmed, and their friend Tanvir Rahman Khan. Among them, Tanvir and Palash are out on bail, while the others remain in jail.
