A Dhaka court on Sunday asked the police to submit the investigation report in the case filed over the rape and murder of an O level student in Kalabagan area of Dhaka, within April 7.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Yeasmin Ara fixed the date after accepting the petition filed by Kalabagan police station Inspector AFM Asaduzzaman, also the investigation officer of the case.
On January 7, the law enforcers recovered the body of the 17-year-old victim from a city hospital and arrested the accused Fardin Iftekhar Dihan and three others in this connection.
