Chief Advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus has handed over the deed of three kathas of land in Purbachal to Mahir Sarwar Megh, son of the slain journalist couple Sagar Sarwar and Meherun Runi.
The chief advisor handed over the deed to Mahir Sarwar Megh at the State Guest House Jamuna on Thursday (August 21, 2025) afternoon.
Journalist Sagar Sarwar applied for this plot in 2004 and was allotted it in 2005. Later, even after paying the full price in 2009, the previous Awami League government did not hand over the plot to Sagar Sarwar’s family.
The current owners of this plot by inheritance are Sagar Sarwar’s mother Saleha Monir and Mahir Sarwar Megh.
At the plot document handover ceremony, the chief advisor inquired about the progress of the investigation into the Sagar-Runi murder case.
He said, “Such protracted investigation creates adverse reactions among the people, people become disappointed with the legal system.”
He ordered the concerned authorities to quickly complete the investigation into the discussed murder case.
Housing and Public Works Advisor Adilur Rahman Khan, who was present at the meeting, said that the current investigating agency, the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI), has learned that many evidence has been destroyed due to the protracted investigation.
At this time, Megh presented the chief advisor with a jersey and bag designed by him.
