The hearing of arguments in the murder case of Rayhan Uddin, who died after alleged torture at the Bandarbazar police outpost in Sylhet in 2020, has been postponed again. The Sylhet Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Munshi Abdul Majid, set the new date for Sunday following a petition from the only detained accused, dismissed ASI Asheq Elahi. Earlier, arguments for five other accused were completed. Court sources said the verdict date may be set after the next hearing. The prosecution concluded its arguments against the absconding accused on Thursday. The prime accused, former SI Akbar Hossain Bhuiyan, was released on bail in August 2024 but remains absconding after his bail was suspended. The case, filed by Rayhan’s wife under the Death in Custody Prevention Act, led to the suspension of seven police officers and the arrest of three. The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) submitted a charge sheet in May 2021 against six officers.
