A Dhaka court has once again postponed the submission of the investigation report in the murder case of popular actor Salman Shah. The report, which was due on April 9, 2026, could not be submitted by the investigating officer, prompting Metropolitan Magistrate Jewel Rana to set a new date of May 14. The case, filed at Ramna Model Police Station, names Salman Shah’s former wife Samira Haque, actor Don, and nine others as accused.

The case was originally filed on October 21 of the previous year by Salman Shah’s uncle, Mohammad Alamgir, under sections 302 and 34 of the Penal Code. It alleges that Salman Shah was found unconscious at his New Eskaton residence on September 6, 1996, and later declared dead at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The family claimed that marks on his neck and body indicated murder. Initially recorded as an unnatural death, the case was later reclassified as a murder case following a court order on October 20.

The plaintiff stated that if any of the accused are proven deceased, they may be exempted. The investigation remains ongoing.
