CID submits two progress reports on investigation

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday submitted progress reports on investigation of the two cases filed over Rana Plaza collapse and said they had completed the investigation.

But they could not submit the probe report to the court as they were yet to get any approval from the public administration ministry and Rajuk to include the names of three government officials as accused in two cases.

Earlier on September 18, a Dhaka court asked the ministry and Rajuk to immediately approve the names of Md Kabir Hossain, former Savar upazila nirbahi officer; and Uttam Kumar Roy, chief executive officer; and Awlad Hossain, building inspector of Savar Municipality.

Rajuk filed a case against building owner Sohel Rana for structural fault found at the nine-storey building. Savar police filed another one for the loss of lives. Sheuli Akter, widow of Jahangir Alam, whose body was recovered from the collapsed site, filed a murder case. The progress reports were submitted following the cases filed by Rajuk and police.
