Staff Reporter :
The High Court on Thursday gave one and a half months to the judicial inquiry committee formed by the court to complete probe into the police actions regarding the arrest of three men and their subsequent confessions to raping and killing a girl, who turned out to be alive later.
The fifth-grader was rescued 49 days after she was said to be abducted and murdered.
Today, the HC bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman granted the time after the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Narayanganj sought time till December 17 for completing the inquiry into the matter, saying that the probe is yet to be finished. The bench, however, asked the Chief Judicial Magistrate to submit the probe report to it by January 5 next year as the court will go on a two-week annual vacation from December 18, Mohammad Shishir Manir, a lawyer of the case, told the media.
