Sharmin Shahriar Ferdous, the elder sister of Major (retd) Sinha Md Rashed Khan, has filed a petition with Cox’s Bazar court to include the district’s police chief ABM Masud in the case filed over her brother’s murder.

She filed the petition with the court of Cox’s Bazar Senior Judicial Magistrate Tamanna Farah on Thursday morning. The court kept the order pending, said Mohammad Mostafa, lawyer of the petitioner.
