No-Confidence Petition Filed against Probe Report

A no-confidence petition was filed today against the final investigation report on the death of college girl Mosarat Jahan Munia, which cleared Bashundhara Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir from the charges.

The petition was filed in the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) court on Tuesday by Nusrat Jahan, the victim's elder sister, and the case's plaintiff.

The final probe report was submitted at a Dhaka court on 19 July.

On 26 April, police recovered the body of Munia and seized her six dairies from a flat in Gulshan in the capital.

Later, the victim's elder sister filed a lawsuit against Sayem Sobhan Anvir, accusing him of "abetment of suicide" and a love affair with Munia.

Two years ago, the victim developed a relationship with Bashundhara Group Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir, and the influential businessman frequently visited her flat.

As the lone defendant in Nusrat's case, Sayem Sobhan Anvir was subjected to a travel ban imposed by a Dhaka court.
