A Dhaka court yesterday granted three months more to Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to complete the probe into one of the two cases filed in connection with the August 21 grenade attack on an Awami League rally in 2004.
The case was filed under the Explosive Substances Act.
Judge Mohammad Zohurul Haque of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court passed the order after CID filed a petition on Monday seeking four months time to complete the investigation.
Senior Special Superintendent of CID Abdul Kahar Akhand, also the investigation officer of the case, submitted the prayer after failing to complete the probe by the stipulated time.
Earlier on October 3, the same court gave two more months to CID to complete the probe and the date expired on Monday.
With this, the court had given the CID 19 months in seven phases to complete the investigation.
The other case, filed for killing the victims, in this connection is now pending with the Second Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court of Dhaka.
At least 23 people including Ivy Rahman were killed and scores injured in the grenade attack on the rally at Bangabandhu Avenue.
