Judge KM Emrul Kayesh of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court of Dhaka granted today's petition. The judge also set February 23, 2022 for submitting the no-confidence petition against the probe report.
Earlier on October 17, Mohammad Mizanur Rahman, superintendent of police at PBI, submitted the report to the court.
In the probe report, the IO said PBI did not find any evidence that one or more people picked up Kishore from his home and tortured him physically and mentally in May last year.
Kishore's allegations of torture against 16-17 unnamed individuals, in plainclothes, were not primarily proven, the IO added in his probe report.
