The investigation into the 2012 murder of Bangladeshi journalists Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi has been delayed once more, with the submission of the investigation report now scheduled for July 22nd. This marks the 127th postponement of the report’s submission date. The decision was made during a hearing on Thursday, June 18th, presided over by Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ariful Islam. The court had previously set a date for the report, but the investigating agency requested further time. Details regarding the reasons for the continued delays were not immediately available. The case has drawn criticism from journalist organizations and rights groups concerned about the lack of progress and potential impunity for the perpetrators. This latest delay further frustrates efforts to bring those responsible for the double murder to justice.
