A Dhaka court on Sunday set June 20 for submitting the investigation report in a case lodged over a deadly blast in a seven-storey building in the capital's Gulistan area on March 7, killing 24 people.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Farah Diba Chonda passed the order as the concerned investigation officer failed to submit the report. Police filed the case with Bangshal Police Station on March 9.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbub Alam on March 9 had placed three people, including two owners of the building, Queen Tower, on two-day remand each in the case.

The horrific blast took place in the basement of the building, housing sanitary hardware stores at around 4.50pm on March 7, instantly killing around 10 people and injuring many more.
