Sagar-Runi murder: RAB fails to submit probe report for the 74th time

A Dhaka court on Tuesday again asked Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) to submit the probe report of a case filed over the murders of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi by October 14.

With the new date, the investigation officer has so far taken 74 dates to complete the investigation.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Millat Hossain passed the order after the RAB investigation officer of the case failed to submit the report on Tuesday.

Sagar, news editor of private TV station Maasranga and his wife Runi, senior reporter of another private TV channel, ATN Bangla, were brutally murdered in their rented flat at Rajabazar in Dhaka on February 11, 2012.

After investigation by Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police, RAB started probing into the murder on April 18, 2012 at the directive of the High Court.
