UNB, Dhaka :
A Dhaka court on Tuesday fixed Nov 4 for charge framing hearing in the case filed over the murder of blogger Washiqur Rahman Babu.
Dhaka’s Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court was scheduled to deliver its verdict in the case on Tuesday. But Judge Md Rabiul Alam set the new hearing date after the prosecution filed a petition.
According to the Code of Criminal Procedure section 227, a court may alter or add to any charge at any time before judgment is pronounced.
The prosecution petition said Saiful Islam, an accused in the case, was in jail during the occurrence of the incident. So, he is not directly involved in the killing. Later, he confessed before the court under section 164.
