Probe report in blogger Niloy murder trial July 29

A Dhaka court today set July 29 to submit probe report in the case filed over murder of blogger Niladri Chattopadhyay Niloy.

Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Ashek Imam set the new date as investigation agency detective branch (DB) of police failed to submit the report today.

Miscreants hacked Niloy to death in his Goran house in the capital on August 7, 2015.

Niloy’s wife Ashamoni on the same day filed a murder case with Khilgaon Police Station against four unidentified miscreants. Law enforcing agencies later arrested seven members of banned militant outfit Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) in connection with that incident.

The seven are Mufti A Gaffar, Mortuza Foysal Sabbir, Qawsar Hossain Sardar, Kamal Hossain Sardar, Sad Al Nahid, Masum Rana and Torikul Islam. Of the seven, the last two are now on bail.
