Eskaton double murder verdict Thursday

Staff Correspondent: A Dhaka court will on Thursday deliver its verdict in the Eskaton double murder case, filed against Bakhtiar Alam Rony, son of Awami League lawmaker Pinu Khan.

Judge Md Monjurul Imam of the Second Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court of Dhaka will deliver the verdict.

The court fixed the date on September 19 after completion of arguments from both sides.
On April 10, another Dhaka court had set May 8 for delivering verdict in the case.

However, the case was transferred to the court of Judge Md Monjurul Imam as the previous court felt embarrassed to hear the case.

On April 13, 2015, a heavily intoxicated Rony fired gunshots from his car in Dilu Road of New Eskaton in the capital, injuring rickshaw-puller Abdul Hakim and auto-rickshaw driver Yakub, who succumbed to their injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on April 15 and April 23 respectively.

Hakim's mother Monowara Begum filed a murder case.
