The 68-year-old mother alleged that it was the unwillingness of the law enforcers which is prolonging the investigation.

“What Sahara Khatun had said was right; they might have identified the killers in 48 hours. Our law enforcement agencies have the capacity to unearth everything, but it is their unwillingness that is holding them back to crack this case,” she said.

She didn’t even know who is the current IO of the case.

“Many IOs have been changed but there was no result … It will never bring any result,” she said, sobbing.

Sagar, news editor at private TV channel Maasranga, and his wife Runi, a senior reporter at ATN Bangla, were killed in the early hours of February 11, 2012 at their rented flat in the capital’s West Rajabazar. The couple’s five-year-old child Mahir Sarowar Megh was at home at the time.

After investigation by Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police and the Detective Branch, the Rab started probing the murder on April 18, 2012.
