Staff Correspondent: Dhaka, Sept-06,
A rape and murder case
was filed on Monday against Bashundhara Group Managing Director Sayem Sobhan
Anvir and seven others over the death of college student Mosarat Jahan Munia in
her Gulshan apartment in April this year.
The seven other accused
are: Bashundhara Group's Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan Shah Alam, Shah Alam's
wife Afroza Begum; Anvir's wife Sabrina Sayem; Faria Mahbub Piyasha; Saifa
Rahman Mim; landlord of the flat where the victim was staying, Ibrahim Ahmed
Ripon and his wife Sharmim Akhter.
Munia's sister Nusrat
Jahan Tania filed the case with Dhaka's 8th Tribunal for Prevention of Women
and Children's Repression.
Judge Mafroza Parvin
recorded the statement of the complainant. After the hearing, the judge
directed the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to submit a report on it
within seven working days.
Earlier on August 19,
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury relieved Anvir of the charge of
incitement to suicide of the college student.
On July 19, the
investigating officer of the case, Gulshan Police Station officer-in-charge
Abul Hasan, submitted a final report to the court giving a clean chit to Anvir.
Anvir was not found
culpable in the suicide incitement case of Munia in the final report submitted
by the investigating officer and asked for his name to be dropped.
On April 26, police
recovered the hanging body of Munia from the flat in Gulshan in the night.
Munia's elder sister Nusrat Jahan Tania filed a case against Anvir that night
accusing him of incitement to suicide.
According to Tania, her
sister Munia was in a relationship with Anvir who regularly visited her at the
Gulshan apartment.
