Sagar-Runi murder: Probe report submission deferred for 104 times

Date for submitting the probe report in the murder case of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi has been deferred for 104 times.

A Dhaka court today (December 19) fixed January 23 for the submission of the probe report in the murder case of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shafi Uddin fixed the new date as the investigation agency of the case Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) failed to submit the report today.

Law enforcement officials have so far arrested eight people in connection with the double murder.

They are Tanvir, Rafiqul Islam, Bakul Mia, Abu Syed, Mintu alias Baggira Mintu alias Masum Mintu, Quamrul Hasan alias Arun, security guard Enam Ahmed alias Humayun Kabir and Palash Rudra Pal.
