Murder case against Bashundhara MD: PBI given 6th date for submitting report

A Dhaka court today again asked Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to submit -- by February 2 -- 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 Mamunur Rahman Siddiqui passed the order after Investigation Officer Golam Moktar Ashrafuddin, also an inspector of PBI, failed to submit the report today, said court sources.

With the latest, PBI took six dates to submit the report. On December 28 last year, another Dhaka court asked PBI to submit the report by today.

Bashundhara Group MD was made prime accused in the case while the group's Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan alias Shah Alam and six others were accused of assisting Anvir.

The six others are Shah Alam's wife Afroza Begum, Anvir's wife Sabrina Sayem, model Faria Mahbub Piyasha, Saifa Rahman Mim, Ibrahim Ahmed Ripon and his wife Sharmim.

Police recovered the body of the 21-year-old college student in a Gulshan flat of Dhaka on April 26 last year.
