Dhaka court orders further probe into Salman Shah's death

A Dhaka court yesterday ordered a further investigation of the death of silver screen actor Shahriar Chowdhury Imon popularly known as Salman Shah.

Metropolitan Magistrate Jahangir Hossain passed the order after Salman's mother Nilufar Chowdhury filed a no-confidence petition against the judicial probe conducted by a metropolitan magistrate.

The court asked Rapid Action Battalion to probe the case and submit a report by April 12.

On July 9 last year, Metropolitan Magistrate Imdadul Haque submitted the probe report which found no indication of murder, and reported that the actor had committed suicide at his Eskaton residence on September 6, 1996.

His father, Kamaruddin Chowdhury, had filed an unnatural death case which he later turned into a murder case.
