The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) has prayed to the trial court for releasing eight persons including the Managing Director (MD) Sayem Sobhan Anvir of Bashundhara Group in the harassment case filed over suicide of Mosarat Jahan Munia in Gulshan of the capital.
This application was submitted with the final report of the case to the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Yasmin Ara on Wednesday morning. The appeal was made by the investigation officer of the case PBI Inspector Golam Muktar Ashraf Uddin.
Today was the date for submitting the case report. Earlier the date of submission of report was postponed several times.
A college student, Mosarat Jahan Munia’s body was recovered from a flat in Gulshan on April 26. Nusrat Jahan, Mosarat’s elder sister, filed a harassment case at the Gulshan police station against Bashundhara Group MD Sayem Sobhan Anvir for ‘inciting suicide’.
In this case, the police submitted the final report to the court last July. The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) court of Dhaka accepted the final report given by the police on August 18. As a result, Sayem Sobhan Anvir was acquitted from the case.
After that, Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan, Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir, and six others were again booked on September 6. Munia’s sister Nusrat Jahan filed the second case with Dhaka Women and Child Suppression Tribunal-8.
The court later directed the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to investigate the case. After a long investigation, the PBI requested the concerned persons to be released for not finding authenticity of allegation made by the complainant.
