After long 30 years of Sagira Morshed murder, Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) revealed the cause of the murder and submitted the charge sheet of the case to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka against four accused persons on Thursday.
PBI Inspector Md Rafiqul Islam submitted the 309-page charge sheet to the CMM Court on Thursday, said PBI Chief DIG Banaj Kumar Majumder while briefing media at its headquarters in Dhanmondi, Dhaka.
The four accused are Sagira Morshed’s brother-in-law Hasan Ali Chowdhury, his wife Sayedatul Mahmuda alias Shahin, brother-in-law (wife’s brother) Anas Mahmud alias Rezwan and their hired killer Maruf Reza.
Sagira, 34, was shot dead in broad daylight on July 25, 1989. She was going to Viqarunnisa Noon School on the capital’s Bailey Road by a rickshaw to pick up her daughter Saharat.
But, Sagira could not reach school to pick up her daughter as muggers shot her to death.
Abdus Salam Chowhury, husband of the victim, filed a murder case against some unknown people with Ramna Model Police Station the same day. But the trial proceedings of the case had remained in operative for the last 28 years following a High Court order.
