Time sought for Sagar-Runi murder probe for 92nd time

A Dhaka court yesterday asked Rab to submit by October 31 the probe report of a case filed over the killings of journalist couple -- Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi.

With this, the investigation officer has so far taken 92 dates to complete the investigation.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Debdash Chandra Adhikary passed the order after Rab's Additional Superintendent Khondoker Md Shafiqul Alam, also investigation officer of the case, failed to submit the report yesterday, court sources said.

Sagar, news editor at private TV channel Maasranga, and his wife Runi, a senior reporter at ATN Bangla, were killed in the early hours of February 11, 2012, in their rented flat in the capital's West Razabazar.
