A Dhaka court has accepted the charge sheet against four accused for their alleged involvement in the murder of Sagira Morshed 30 years ago.

Judge KM Imrul Kayes of the Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge's Court day took the charge sheet into cognizance on Monday, in presence of the four accused.

The court also fixed March 15 for holding a hearing on charge framing against the four.

The court also fixed March 12 for hearing on charge framing against the accused -- Sagira's brother-in-law Dr Hasan Ali Chowdhury, his wife Sayedatul Mahmuda alias Shaheen, brother-in-law (wife's brother) Anas Mahmud alias Rezwan and the hired killer Maruf Reza.

Meanwhile, three of the accused, except Maruf Reza, submitted a petition seeking permission to withdrew their confessional statements.

But the court kept the petition in the file without passing any order on the issue.

Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) on January 16 pressed charges against the four accused.

Earlier, the HC directed the trial court to complete its trial within 90 days of the day of framing charges against the accused.

On July 25, 1989, Sagira (34) was going to Viqarunnisa Noon School in Bailey Road by rickshaw to pick up her daughter, but she was shot dead in front of the school.
