Fardin Murder: CID Asked to Submit Probe Report by Aug 29

A Dhaka court has once more ordered the Criminal Investigation Department to provide the investigation's findings in a case concerning the death of Buet student Fardin Noor Parash in November of last year by August 29.

After the CID failed to deliver a report on the investigation by today, Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Ali Haider imposed a fresh deadline.

After Fardin's father filed a no-confidence petition against the DB report exonerating Amatullah Bushra, an accused party in the case, of murder accusations, a different Dhaka court ordered more inquiry into the matter on April 16.

Kazi Nooruddin, the victim's father and the case's complainant, requested a second inquiry in the petition, claiming that the first investigation was incomplete.

In the final report, he also alleged that the IO was prejudiced in the accused's favor.

Today, bail was granted to Bushra, who was present on January 8.

Fardin, a third-year civil engineering student, was discovered dead in Narayanganj's Shitalakkhya river on November 7, 2013, three days after going missing.

On February 6, Detective Branch Inspector Yasin Shikder, who was also the case's investigation officer, handed the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka the final report.

The IO claimed that Fardin committed suicide in the report, which his father believed to be improbable.

On November 10 of last year, Bushra was taken into custody by Rampura police from her Banasree home in the capital after Fardin's father reported his son's murder to Rampura Police Station.

After her five-day remand was over, her bail plea was denied, and she was booked into jail on November 16.

The DB and Rab announced on December 11 that Fardin committed suicide by jumping from a bridge into a river after more than a month of inquiry.

Bushra's role in the event was not discovered, according to DB head Mohammad Harun Or Rashid, who stated this the next day.

Exactly two months after her detention, Bushra was released from the Kashimpur Women's Central Jail on January 10 of this year.
