Rab talks to Runi's mother
Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) officials talked to Meherun Runi's mother for around three hours at its headquarters in the capital's Uttara yesterday over Runi and her husband's murder.
Runi, a senior reporter for ATN Bangla, and her husband, Sagar Sarowar, a news editor at Maasranga, were killed in their West Rajabazar flat in the capital on February 11.
Runi's brother Nowsher Roman, who accompanied his mother, Nurunnahar Mirza, said, “The investigation officer of the case and a top official of Rab talked to my mother.”
“They mainly asked about what my mother saw when she rushed to the flat that morning and what she knew about the murder. They did not ask about anything new. It seemed to me that they mainly cross-examined her,” he said.
The investigation officer had sent a letter on July 4 asking Nurunnahar to come to the Rab office by 10:30am and they had entered the office around 11:45am, he said.
The High Court, on April 18, had ordered to transfer the case to Rab as Detective Branch of police failed to unearth the mystery behind the murder in its investigation in a span of over two months.
Rab investigators had exhumed the remains of the bodies on April 26 for fresh autopsies.
