A Dhaka court today (15 September) set 15 October to submit a probe report in a case filed against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and six others over the murder of grocer Abu Saiyed on 19 July in the city's Mohammadpur area during the student-led movement.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Zaki-Al-Farabi set the date as the investigating officer of the case failed to submit the report today.

This was the first murder case filed against Sheikh Hasina, after she resigned and fled the country on 5 August.

The other accused in the case are Obaidul Quader, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, Harun-ur-Rashid, Habibur Rahman and Biplob Kumar Sarker.
