DHAKA, Jan 01, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today sent to jail two people in a case lodged over the killing of Tanjil Jahan Islam Tamim, broadcast officer of Deepto TV.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, scrapping the bail pleas of accused Pleasant Properties CEO Faizur Ahmed and manager (admin) Ibrahim.

The two accused had secured eight-week interim bail from High Court. After end of their bail period, they surrendered before the lower court and pleaded for bail. Senior lawyer Masud Ahmed Talukder moved their bail pleas, while plaintiff's counsel Abrar Khan Taslim vehemently opposed the pleas. 

The plaintiff, victim's father Sultan Ahmed, was also present at the court and he too opposed their bail pleas. After hearing both the sides, the court sent the two accused to jail.

According to the case documents, Tamim was killed over a dispute between land owners and a developer company. There was a longstanding dispute between three landowners and the developer company Pleasant Properties about the handover of flats.

As per the contact, each landowner was supposed to get five flats. But the developer company handed over to Tamim's father, who was one of the landowners, two flats in 2023, and was dilly delaying to handover the remaining units in spite of having completed the construction. The company recently sold one of the three flats supposed to be given to Tamim's father. On October 10, when Tamim, using some workers, was carrying out some internal works in the other two flats, goons hired by the developer company attacked them and beat Tamim mercilessly. 

As Tamim was rushed to local hospital, he was declared dead by the attending doctors. Tamim's father later filed the case against 16 people with the Hatirjheel Police Station.
