Verdict against MP's son Jan 30

The verdict in the New Eskaton double murder case against Bakhtiar Alam Rony, son of former Awami League MP Pinu Khan, will now be delivered on January 30, report agencies.

Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Session's Judge Manjurul Imam fixed the date on Tuesday after closing the law-point arguments from both sides.

The court was supposed to pronounce its judgment on October 04 last. However, it deferred for the second time the delivery of the verdict in the double murder case as the prosecution filed a petition to summon the investigation officer of the case for rehearing.
