A Dhaka court on Sunday ordered the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to reinvestigate the case filed in connection with the death of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) student Fardin Noor Parash.
After hearing, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Shanta Islam Mallik passed the order.
Prakash Ranjan Biswas, the plaintiff’s lawyer, confirmed the matter to the journalists.
Earlier Noor Uddin Rana, plaintiff of the case, submitted a no-confidence petition against the final investigation report submitted by Detective Branch (DB) of police.
The same court also set May 24 for submission of the reinvestigation report.
Earlier on February 6, DB Police Inspector Yasin Sikder, the investigation officer (IO) of the case, submitted the final report clearing Amatullah Bushra -- the accused in the case -- of all charges.
Police recovered Fardin’s body from the Shitalakhkhya River, behind a cotton mill at Siddhirganj, on November 7 last year, three days after he had gone missing.
Kazi Nuruddin Rana, Fardin’s father, filed a case in connection with his son’s killing with Rampura Police Station.
In the case, Amatullah Bushra, a friend of Fardin and also a 3rd year student of East West University and some other unidentified people were made accused. Police arrested Bushra after the case was filed.
On November 10, the court placed Bushra on a five-day remand. After the remand on November 16, the court denied her bail and sent her to jail.
Later, Bushra was granted bail on January 8, 2023.
