A Dhaka court yesterday again asked Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) to submit by August 23 the progress report on the case filed over the killing of journalist couple Sagor Sarowar-Meherun Runi in February 2012.

Metropolitan Magistrate Khurshid Alam passed the order as Assistant Superintendent of Police Mohiuddin Ahmed of Rab, also investigation officer of the case, failed to submit any probe report yesterday.

Three agencies, including Rab, failed to submit the probe report despite taking 51 dates.

On February 11, 2012, Runi, senior reporter of private TV channel ATN Bangla, and her husband Sagar, news editor of another TV station, Maasranga, were murdered. Their only son, Megh, was inside their Pashchim Rajabazar house at the time of the murder.
