Dhanmondi police have pressed charges against four people, including former superintendent of police Babul Akhter, in a case filed by PBI chief under the Digital Security Act.
The three other charge-sheeted accused are: Babul's father Md Abdul Wadud Mia, brother Md Habibur Rahman Labu and journalist Elias Hossain.
Babul is now in jail custody, his father and brother are on bail and journalist Elias Hossain is abroad.
Md Rabiul Islam, an inspector of Dhanmondi Police Station and also the investigation officer of the case, on April 19 submitted the charge sheet to the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court.
The IO showed Elias Hossain as a fugitive in the charge sheet and appealed to the court to issue arrest warrant against him.
The charge sheet will be placed before the court tomorrow for the next course of action, said General Recording Officer Mahfuz Miah.
On September 27 last year, PBI Chief Banaj Kumar Majumder filed the case against Babul and three others with Dhanmondi Police Station on charges of spreading false and untrue information regarding the Mitu murder case.
On June 5, 2016, Babul's wife Mitu was stabbed and shot dead while she was taking her son to his school bus stop at the port city's GEC intersection. After the murder, Babul filed a case against three unidentified men with the Panchlaish Police Station.
Later PBI took over the case from DB of CMP.
On May 11 last year, Chattogram PBI summoned Babul to its office for interrogation. He failed to give satisfactory answers to the detectives and was taken into PBI custody.
The following day, Mitu's father filed a murder case against eight people, making Babul the prime accused in the case. Mitu's father alleged that Babul is the mastermind of the killing and he killed his wife over extramarital affairs.
