SM Mizanur Rahman :Law enforcers failed to make any breakthrough in the sensational murder case of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Mehrun Runi even after four years into the gruesome murder.After the brutal murder, three investigators have already been changed, but they have not yet come up with any accurate final report. They came up with some empty rhetoric like substantial progress, significant progress, investigating with sincerity, and “will bring the killers into book soon.Expressing her utter frustration, Sagar’s mother Saleha Monir said that they would not get justice as the influential quarter continues to put pressure to suppress the case.Apart from my family members, people also want to know who are the influential? RAB are not coming out with the disclosure of the names of the influential fading our hope into the dark, she said. She further said RAB in almost all cases proved their efficiency, but the elite force does not have anything to do, as they are under tremendous pressure by a powerful vested quarter According to court sources, RAB has not submitted chargesheet yet although four years have already elapsed. Earlier the court fixed the date for submitting chargesheet by January 18. Mehrun Runi, senior reporter of private TV channel ATN Bangla, and her husband Sagar Sarowar, news editor of another TV station Maasranga, were murdered in the bedroom of their West Rajabazar apartment on February 11, 2012.The law enforcers are always saying as they have attached highest importance in the sensational murder case, they are taking more time for accurate investigation. And thus such delay is also frustrating victims’ family members as well as the journalist community. A total of 145 people were interrogated in connection with the murder case and eight persons were arrested.The eight accused are Rafiqul Islam, Bakul Miah, Masum Mintu, Kamrul Hasan alias Arun, Abu Sayeed, two security guards of the couple’s house Palash Rudra Paul and Enamul Hoque and the couple’s family friend Tanveer Rahman. Tanveer is on bail while others are behind bars now.Though the Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and law enforcers on Wednesday claimed that they would be able to unearth the mysteries about the motives behind the killing of the journalist couple, the killers are yet to be identified, and the investigation is far from being completed. According to family sources, the killers are not being nabbed as the law enforcers are under tremendous pressure of a vested quarter. Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Wednesday said they would be able to discover the mysteries of the killing the journalist couple soon.Home Minister also said that the trial of the killers of journalist couple must be held. The motive behind the gruesome murders will be unveiled, he said after a meeting with deputy commissioner in Joypurhat district. When contacted, RAB’s legal and media wing Director, Mufti Mahmud Khan told The New Nation that the investigators of the elite force would continue to submit report to the court.
