Case against Sanvir
Charge framing hearing Jan 25
A Dhaka court yesterday deferred till January 25 the hearing on charge framing against Bashundhara Group chairman's son Shafiat Sobhan Sanvir and four others in a murder case.
Judge Mohammad Rezaul Islam of the Speedy Trial Tribunal-4 passed the order following a time petition submitted on behalf of two of the five accused in Humayun Kabir Sabbir killing case.
Of the accused, Sanvir, son of Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan Shah Alam, and security guards of Sabbir's house Nure Alam and Humayun Kabir have been fugitive since filing of the case.
Sanvir's bodyguards Khairul Hassan Ujjal and Shamsuddin Ahmed, now on bail, appeared before the court yesterday and submitted a petition seeking time.
According to lawyers, Ujjal and Shamsuddin in the petition prayed for an adjournment of the hearing, as they were not prepared to take part in the hearing.
On the other hand, the prosecution was ready for hearing on charge framing against the accused.
The same court on January 10 issued arrest warrants against Sanvir and the two security guards in the case.
Sabbir, a director of Bashundhara Telecommu-nications Network Ltd, was brutally killed on July 5, 2006. His body was found outside a building in Gulshan in the city.
