The Detective Branch (DB) on March 30 indicted Azam Reza for killing his wife Jayanti Munsi alias Jayanti Reza and dropped the names of television performers Shampa Reza and Afsana Mimi from the charge sheet as the allegations against them could not be proved.

Investigation officer (IO) DB inspector Ruhul Quddus submitted the charge sheet to the Court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Dhaka after 82 days of the incident.

Ruhul Quddus in the charge sheet said that primary investigation based on the first information report (FIR), statements of 20 witnesses and the post-mortem report found Azam Reza guilty.

The IO quoting the post-mortem report said, death was due to cerebral failure resulted from head injury, which was homicidal in nature.
