A court in Dhaka has set Feb 20 to submit probe report in a case lodged over the killing of Taslima Begum Renu in a mob beating in North Badda area in Dhaka.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ziaur Rahman gave the order on Wednesday (Jan 22) as the investigation officer failed to submit the report.

General Recording Officer (GR) of the concerning police station Liakat Ali confirmed the matter to Bangla Tribune.

Taslima Begum Renu, 40, a single mother of two, was fatally beaten to death by a mob on suspicion of being a child lifter, in front of North Badda Government Primary School on Jul 20, 2019.

It was later learned that Renu went there to gather information regarding admission of her daughter Tahsin Tuba, 4, at that school.

Renu’s nephew Nasir Uddin filed the case with Badda Police Station against 400-500 unidentified people.

Police scrutinizing the vicious video clippings of the incident managed to arrest almost all the culprits, including Ria Khatun, 35, who started the ruckus by terming Renu a child lifter, and Ibrahim Hossain Hridoy, the man who was seen most active in beating Renu, even thrashing her seemingly lifeless body.
