DHAKA, A Dhaka court here today fixed June 10 for submitting report in a case filed against the miscreants who attacked police to snatch away two death-row convicts from the court premises in the capital in 2022. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rashedul Alam fixed the date afresh as the Investigation Officer (IO) of the case failed to submit the report today. On November 20, 2022, four miscreants riding on two motorcycles snatched Abu Siddik and Moinul Hasan, capital punishment awardees in publisher Faisal Arefin Dipan murder case, from police custody, after spraying some chemical on their eyes.
