Submit probe report on Hadi murder by Jan 25

A Dhaka court yesterday asked the Criminal Investiga-tion Department to submit a probe report by January 25 in a case filed over the killing of Inqilab Moncho spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam passed the order after the CID failed to submit the report, said a sub-inspector working at the court.

On January 15, the court directed the CID to further investigate the case after granting a no-confidence (naraji) petition. It also asked the investigation agency to submit the report yesterday.

Inqilab Moncho Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber filed the petition with the court, rejecting the probe report submitted by the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.

In the no-confidence petition, the complainant said the submitted charge sheet skipped the main planners of the killing. Moreover, negligence was found in the collection of witness’ testimony and evidence.

On December 12 last year, Hadi, an independent aspirant for the Dhaka-8 constituency, was shot in Dhaka’s Paltan area. He died on December 18 while undergoing treatment in Singapore.

On December 14, Abdullah Al Jaber filed an attempted murder case with Paltan Model Police Station against Faisal and several unnamed individuals, which later turned into a murder case.

On January 6 this year, investigation officer Faisal Ahmed, a DB inspector, submitted a charge sheet before the court, naming prime accused Faisal Karim Masud, four of his family members and 12 others.
