A Dhaka court has ordered the filing of a murder case in connection with the death of popular film actor Salman Shah, nearly three decades after his death rocked Bangladesh’s entertainment industry.
The order was issued on Monday by Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Jannatul Ferdous Ibn Haque, according to Abid Hasan, the lawyer representing the plaintiff.
The court also granted a revision petition filed by Salman Shah’s mother regarding the case over her son’s death, reports bdnews24.com.
According to the actor's father, Kamar Uddin, the court has ordered that the confessional statement of Rizvi Ahmed alias Farhad, one of the people allegedly involved in the incident, be included in the case and that a murder case be formally filed based on it.
The court has assigned the Ramna Model Police Station to investigate the case.
Salman Shah, one of Bangladesh’s most beloved film stars of the 1990s, was found dead at his home in 1996. His death was initially deemed a suicide, but his family has long maintained that he was murdered.
