Journo Couple Murder

Major progress any moment

Says Home Minister

Staff Correspondent
Nine days into the killing of a journalist couple, Home Minister Shahara Khatun yesterday said the murder investigation could have major progress "at any moment".
Asked whether the government was thinking about seeking help from international investigation agencies, she said investigation officers concerned will decide what they need to do.
“I have nothing to say about this. They are working independently,” she added.
Shahara was talking to journalists following a semi-nar titled "Duties on Children Safety” at Rajarbagh Telecom Auditorium in the capital.
Meanwhile, Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, a BNP standing committee member, yesterday demanded resignation of Shahara Khatun for her failure to unveil the mystery behind the killings, even after a week of the incident.
Sagar Sarowar, news editor of private television station Maasranga, and his wife Meherun Runi, a senior reporter of another private TV channel ATN Bangla, were killed in their rented flat early February 11.
About the countrywide rally of the journalists' organisations on February 22 demanding arrest and punishment of the couple's killers, Shahara said, “They
[journalists] will stage rally to put pressure on the government. I think their programmes are logical."
"I would have done the same if I were a journalist", she told newsmen at Rajarbagh Telecom Auditorium.
The home minister, however, did not answer whether the investigating agencies would be able to reveal the murder mystery before February 22.
Earlier, Shahara spoke at the seminar on children's right as chief guest.
Inspector General of Police Hasan Mahmood Khandker told the seminar that police personnel are now more responsive to the children than at any other time.
MOSHARRAF ON SHAHARA'S RESIGNATION
Addressing a discussion at the Jatiya Press Club in the capital, Mosharraf said “After failing to reveal the
couple's murder mystery, the home minister tactfully put the responsibility on the prime minister's shoulder."
“She [Shahara] should resign without further delay admitting her failure,” the BNP leader said.
Referring to the home minister's statement that the prime minister herself was monitoring the investigation process of the couple murder, Mosharraf said people want to know how many cases are being monitored by the premier.
“We want to see what the prime minister will do regarding the murder incident,” the BNP leader told the discussion.
The prime minister said she has taken the responsibility of Megh, only son of Sagar and Runi. But this is not enough, he said.
“She [the premier] has to take responsibility for the killing too,” Mosharraf added.
