Sagar-Runi murder: Task force gets 6 months to end probe

The High Court (HC) has granted an additional six months to the high-powered task force, comprising experts from different agencies, to complete the investigation into the murder of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi.

The HC bench of Justice Fatema Najib and Justice Sikder Mahmudur Razi passed the order allowing, in part, a prosecution plea, which sought nine more months to complete the probe. The court also adjourned the hearing of the case until October 22 this year.

The task force has been ordered to submit the investigation report to the HC in six months.
