A Dhaka court today again asked the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to submit — by December 8 — the probe report in a case filed against Bashundhara Group Managing Director, Sayem Sobhan Anvir, and seven others over the rape and murder of a college student in Dhaka’s Gulshan.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate, Begum Yasmin Ara, passed the order after Investigation Officer, Golam Moktar Ashrafuddin, also an inspector of PBI, failed to submit the report of the case, court sources said.
Earlier on November 2, the same court asked PBI to submit the probe report by today.
With this, PBI took three dates to complete the probe into the case filed against Anvir and others.
In the same case, model Faria Mahbub Piyasha was shown arrested on October 3 and she was placed on a two-day remand for quizzing about the incident.
After police recovered the body of the 21-year-old college student in a Gulshan flat on April 26, her elder sister had filed a case with Gulshan Police Station against Anvir on charge of suicide abetment.
On July 19, Abul Hasan, investigation officer of that case and also Gulshan Police Station’s officer-in-charge, submitted the final report to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court of Dhaka.
On August 18, a Dhaka court accepted the final report and relieved Anvir from the case.
However, victim’s elder sister on September 6 filed another case with the Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-8 of Dhaka against Anvir over rape and murder of the victim.
Ahmed Akbar Sobhan alias Shah Alam, chairman of Bashundhara Group, and six others were also made accused in the case for abetment.
On September 29, the High Court refused to grant anticipatory bail to Anvir in the case.
