CID to probe constable Shamim killing case again

A Dhaka court yesterday directed Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to probe the police constable Shamim murder case as it found flaws in the probe of Detective Branch of police.

Metropolitan Magistrate Md Aminul Haque directed CID to complete the probe by October 27.

In his order, the magistrate said DB Sub-Inspector Dipak Chandra Das submitted the charge sheet on June 8 in which names of 26 leaders and activists of BNP, including MK Anwar and Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, were dropped while only seven people, including one BNP leader Habibunnabi Khan Sohel, were charge.

Constable Shamim Mia, 28, died from head injuries suffered while trying to escape a petrol bomb attack on a police bus near Matsya Bhaban intersection in the capital on January 17. The attack left at least 13 cops injured.

Police filed a case against BNP leaders MK Anwar, Rizvi, Amanullah Aman and 23 others for their alleged involvement in the attack.
