A Dhaka court yesterday asked the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to submit by November 2 the probe report of a case filed against Bashundhara Group Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir and seven others over the rape and murder of a college student in Dhaka’s Gulshan.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nivana Khair Jesi passed the order after Investigation Officer Golam Moktar Ashrafuddin, also an inspector of the PBI, failed to submit the report yesterday as previously scheduled, court sources said.

The Bashundhara MD was made prime accused in the case for allegedly murdering the victim after raping her, while the group’s Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan alias Shah Alam and six others were accused of assisting Anvir.

The six others are Shah Alam’s wife Afroza Begum, Anvir’s wife Sabrina Sayem, model Faria Mahbub Piyasha, Saifa Rahman Mim, the flat’s landlord Ibrahim Ahmed Ripon and his wife Sharmim.

On September 19, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Yasmin Ara fixed October 10 for passing an order on a petition filed by the investigator on September 13, seeking a travel ban on Anvir.

The High Court on September 29 refused to grant Anvir anticipatory bail.

On October 3, model Faria Mahbub Piyasha was placed on a two-day remand in the case.

After police recovered the body of the 21-year-old college student in a Gulshan flat on April 26, her elder sister had filed a case with Gulshan Police Station against Anvir on charge of suicide abetment.

On July 19, Abul Hasan, investigation officer of that case and also Gulshan Police Station’s office-in-charge, submitted the final report to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court of Dhaka.

On August 18, a Dhaka court accepted the final report and relieved Anvir from the case.

However, the victim’s sister on September 6 filed another case with the Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-8 of Dhaka against Anvir over the rape and murder of the victim and seven others for assisting him.
