IO granted more time

The investigating officer (IO), probing the 2013 collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Savar, has been granted more time to submit his report to the court, reports bdnews24.com.
Chief Judicial Magistrate court in Dhaka granted Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Bijay Krishna Kar five more weeks to file the report after he sought an extension on Wednesday.
Kar, an official of the police's Crime Investigation Department (CID), was asked to submit his reports on May 21.
Rana Plaza building in Savar, which housed five garment factories, collapsed on April 24, 2013.
Official figures put the death toll at 1,135, mostly workers of the garment factories. At least 2,458 people were rescued from the rubbles.
Two cases were filed over the incident-one over death due to negligence and the other under the building code.
The court had earlier sought explanations from the IO over the delay.  ASP Kar told the court that the chargesheet would be filed as soon as possible.
A total of 21 people have been arrested over the collapse. Of them, 8 have secured bail from the High Court.
The owner of the collapsed building Sohel Rana has been accused in both cases.
