The High Court on Sunday blasted Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) Inspector Shamim Akhter for conducting investigation into Rajshahi’s labour leader Nurul Islam murder case based on a manipulated First Information Report and for hurriedly submitting the charge sheet to the trial court in violation of its earlier directive.
Delivering verdict on a Suo Moto (voluntary) rule, the HC bench of Justice Mustafa Zaman Islam and Justice Md Salim scraped the charge sheet and ordered the PBI to conduct a fresh investigation into the case and to submit a fresh charge sheet to the trial court in 10 days.
The PBI has been directed to take necessary departmental action against Inspector Shamim Akhter.
The court said Shamim Akhter conducted the investigation with mala-fide intention to save the original accused of the case.
He has hurriedly submitted the charge sheet to the trial court in a surprising manner, the HC said.
Advocate Abu Bakar Siddique Rajon, a lawyer for deceased Nurul Islam’s daughter Nigar Sultana, said that the Investigation Officer has hurriedly submitted charge sheet of the case in violation of the High Court directive.
