A Dhaka court has again postponed the submission of the investigation report in the murder case of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi. Metropolitan Magistrate Ariful Islam fixed April 1 as the new date after the Police Bureau of Investigation’s Additional Superintendent of Police, Md Azizul Haque, failed to submit the report on the scheduled day. The prosecution’s Sub-Inspector Rafiqul Islam Russell confirmed the development.
The case, filed by Runi’s brother after the couple’s killing on February 11, 2012, has seen repeated delays and transfers among investigative agencies. Initially handled by Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police, it was later moved to the Detective Branch, then to the Rapid Action Battalion, and finally to the Police Bureau of Investigation following High Court orders. In 2024, the High Court directed the formation of a four-member high-level task force led by the PBI chief to complete the probe within six months.
Among the accused, Tanvir Rahman Khan is on bail, while Palash Rudra Pal remains absconding after securing bail. The rest are in custody.
