Earlier, on March 8, the court took cognizance of the charges against Monir Hossain and fixed March 16 for a hearing on charge framing against the accused.
On January 16, Md Abdul Malek, an Inspector of the Detective Branch of policy and the Investigation Officer of the case, submitted two charge sheets-one for possessing illegal firearms and the other for possessing narcotics to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court of Dhaka.
