Counter-terror unit asked to submit probe report March 29

A Dhaka court yesterday again asked Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police to submit on March 29 the probe report of the case filed over the technical glitch in Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's flight. 

Metropolitan Magistrate Golam Nabi passed the order after Mahbub Alam, an inspector of CTTC unit and investigation officer of the case, failed to submit any probe report yesterday.

Earlier on January 12, the same court asked CTTC unit to submit by yesterday the case's probe report.  

Wing Commander (retd) MM Asaduzzaman, director of engineering and material management of Biman, filed the case.

Nine employees of Bangladesh Biman Airlines were made accused in the case filed under the Special Powers Act with Airport Police Station on December 21 last year.

Two __more officials, though their names were not included in the first information report, were also arrested after their involvement with the incident was found.

All the eleven accused are now in jail custody.

On November 27, a Biman flight carrying the prime minister had to make an emergency landing at the Ashgabat International Airport in Turkmenistan on her way to Budapest as engine-1 of the plane was losing oil pressure.

After the landing, engineers found that a nut was loose causing the oil pressure loss.
