Dhaka 6th Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Jannatul Ferdous Ibn Haque passed the order after accepting a revision plea filed by the plaintiff.

State prosecutor Advocate Mohammad Habibur Rahman confirmed the information.

On 6 September 1996, film actor Salman Shah’s body was recovered from his residence in Eskaton, Dhaka. His father, Komoruddin Ahmed Chowdhury, initially filed an unnatural death (UD) case.

On 3 November 1997, the CID submitted its final report to the court, stating that the death was a suicide, which was accepted by a Dhaka court on 25 November of the same year.

However, Komoruddin Ahmed filed a revision petition rejecting the report. On 19 May 2003, the court ordered a judicial inquiry into the case.

On 3 August 2014, after 11 years, Metropolitan Magistrate Imdadul Haque submitted the judicial inquiry report to the court, which also concluded that the death was an unnatural one.

The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) later investigated the case, and on 31 October 2021, the court accepted the report and disposed of the case.

On 12 June 2022, a revision petition was filed against the decision with the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court.
