Salman Shah's father rejects police report, files petition with CMM's court

Late Salman Shah's father filed a petition with the CMM's court in the city yesterday, rejecting the final report of the police on the death of popular film star, reports UNB.

Kamruddin Ahmed Chowdhury filed the 'naraji' petition with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka, expressing his disappointment over the final report by police that dismissed the possibility of Salman Shah's murder.

In the petition, he also said that there was no material fact in the final report and sought the court's intervention for framing chargesheet and continuation of the case on murder charge.

Salman's father filed the petition after the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) recommended to accept the final report which was submitted by the Detective Branch.

The court will hear the petition on January 25 to determine whether the final report will be accepted or not.

The DB investigators submitted the final report on the case (Ramna thana no 38/96) on February 4, 1997 and the CID, in its investigation report submitted on November 2, echoed the DB.
