Rajib Murder
Dhaka court asks for DNA test of evidence
A Dhaka court yesterday ordered the director of Dhaka Medical College and Hospital to conduct DNA test of hair and blood samples found at the scene where blogger Ahmed Rajib Haidar was murdered.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Bikash Kumar Saha passed the order following a petition submitted to the court in this regard.
DB Inspector Mainul Islam, also an investigation officer, filed the petition seeking the court's permission for identifying the hair, which was found stuck in Rajib's palm, and the blood on his laptop.
In the petition, Mainul said conducting DNA test was necessary to identify the hair and blood evidences found.
Criminals hacked to death Rajib on the road near his house at Palash Nagar in the capital's Pallabi on Friday night.
He was an activist of the ongoing movement at Shahbagh demanding capital punishment for the war criminals of 1971.
Meanwhile, police are yet to make any headway into the investigation of Rajib's murder.
