The Detective Branch (DB) of police on Monday submitted the final report before a Dhaka court clearing Amatullah Bushra of the murder charges in a case filed over the death of BUET student Fardin Noor Parash.

DB Inspector Yasin Shikder, also the investigating officer of the case, submitted the report to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.

The case is scheduled for a hearing on February 14.

Bushra was arrested from her Banasree home in Dhaka on November 10, 2022, after Fardin's father filed a murder case implicating Bushra and several other accomplices with Rampura police station following the recovery of his son's body from the Shitalakhkhya River on November 7.

After a long 38-day investigation, the DB chief said on December 14 that Fardin roamed alone around different areas of Dhaka on the night of November 4 before he went missing.

"Fardin was not murdered, he committed suicide by jumping into the river from the Sultana Kamal Bridge on November 4 out of desperation," he said.

On January 8, Judge Tahsin Iftekhar of Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court-7 granted bail to Bushra in the case after hearing a bail petition.

On January 10, she walked out of the Kashimpur Women's Central Jail, two months after her arrest.

Fardin was a third-year student of the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) of the civil engineering department and a resident of the Qutubpur area in Narayanganj's Fatullah. Police recovered Fardin's body from the Shitalakhkhya River, behind a cotton mill at Siddhirganj, on November 7, three days after he went missing.

Coroner Sheikh Farhad, a physician at Narayanganj General Hospital where the autopsy was done, said there were several injury marks on Fardin's head and body.

Kazi Nuruddin Rana, Fardin's father, filed a case in connection with his son's killing at Rampura police station on the same day and the case was later transferred to the Detective Branch (DB) of police.
