A Dhaka court on Wednesday set February 27 for submitting a probe report in a case lodged over the sensational murder of Awami League leader Jahidul Islam Tipu and college student Samia Afrin Preeti in the capital’s Shahjahanpur area.
Wednesday was previously fixed for submitting the probe report, but the investigation officer of the case failed to submit it, prompting Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury to fix the date afresh.
Tipu, who was on his microbus on the way home, was shot dead by a masked assailant in the capital’s Shahjahanpur area on the night of March 24 last.
Rickshaw passenger Samia Afran Preeti was also killed in the incident.
Tipu’s wife Farhana Islam Dolly filed the case with Shahjahanpur Police station on March 25.
Detective Branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police arrested main shooter Masum Mohammad alias Akash from Bogura. During primary interrogation, Masum admitted that he killed Tipu.
