Probe report in Salman Shah murder case deferred to 8 Dec

A Dhaka court on Thursday deferred the date for submission of the probe report to 8 December in the murder case of late film actor Chowdhury Mohammad Shahriar Emon, widely known as Salman Shah, filed against 11 people, including his wife, Samira Haque.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Jewel Rana set the new date as the investigating officer failed to submit the report on the scheduled date. This marks the 11th deferment of the probe report submission date.

Prosecution Division Sub-Inspector Shah Alam confirmed the information, saying Thursday was scheduled for submission of the probe report. However, Investigating Officer of the case and CID Inspector Ziaul Morshed failed to submit it, prompting the court to set a new date.

Earlier, on 20 October, Dhaka’s 6th Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court passed an order to file a fresh case nearly 29 years after the actor’s death.
