Charges to be framed tomorrow

The date for charge-framing was fixed after the appellate division of the Supreme Court stayed the high court order to exempt Awami League lawmaker ABM Fazle Karim Chowdhury, one of the accused of the case, from the charge, sources said.

Srikanta Raxmit was abducted from his city residence at Hazari Lane under Kotwali Police Station on the night of April 19 last year. His beheaded body was recovered from Hathazari upazila the following day.

Police submitted the charge sheet on August 12, accusing 17 people, including Fazle Karim Chowdhury.

Though not named in the FIR, Fazle Karim and five other people were included in the charge sheet.
