Probe report submission deferred for 107th time

The probe report submission date in a case filed over the 2012 killing of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi has been deferred for the 107th time.

A Dhaka court on Tuesday (April 2) extended the date till May 16 for submitting the probe report.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Mahbubul Haque fixed the new date as the Rapid Action Battalion's (RAB) investigating officer failed to submit the report.

Sagar, news editor of private TV station Maasranga and his wife Runi, senior reporter of another private TV channel, ATN Bangla, were brutally murdered at their rented apartment in Dhaka’s West Rajabazar area on February 11, 2012.

Nousher Ali Roman, brother of Runi, filed a case at Sher-e-Bangla police station the following day.
