UNB, Dhaka :
Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu said on Monday the government has failed to resolve the mystery behind the killing of journalist couple Sagar-Runi.
His remarks came when a delegation of Dhaka Reporters’ Unity led by its president Shahed Chowdhury called on the minister at his office and placed a nine-point demand, including trial of killers of the journo couple.
On February 11, 2012, Maasranga Television News Editor Sagar Sarowar and his wife ATN Bangla Senior Reporter Meherun Runi were stabbed to death in their residence in the city’s Razabazar area.
He said he will be able to explain the latest status of the case in next 10 days to bring the issue to the notice of the authority concerned.
The journalists demanded that a status on the murder case be given by February 11, the second anniversary of the killing.
The other demands included implementation of the Prime Minister’s pledge to bear responsibility of the couple’s son Megh, release of three detained journalists of Inqilab and immediate implementation of the eighth wage board for journalists.
About the premier’s pledge, Inu said he’ll be able to tell about it in 10 days.
