Around six years after the charge framing in the murder case lodged over tragic collapse of Rana Plaza building where around 1,200 people lost their lives, the lower court concerned finally started recording depositions of the witnesses.
Plaintiff of the case and then sub-inspector of Savar police station Wali Ashraf on Monday testified before Dhaka District and Sessions Judge AHM Habibur Rahman Bhuiyan.
On July 18, 2016, Dhaka District and Sessions Judge SM Quddus Zaman framed charges against 41 accused in the murder case filed by police over the incident.
However, the proceedings of the case remained stalled since then because of the stay order issued by the High Court.
Police filed the case over murder because of negligence. CID submitted a charge sheet in the case on April 26, 2015 against 41 people, including building owner Sohel Rana.
A total of 594 people were made witnesses in the case.
At least 1,136 people, mostly garment workers, were killed and over 2,500 injured in the Rana Plaza building collapse on April 24, 2013.
