The government yesterday ordered inclusion of the case for killing of six students at Aminbazar in the home ministry's list for sensational cases.
The order was given at a meeting of the monitoring cell on sensational cases at home ministry with Home Minister Sahara Khatun in the chair.
The progress of sensational cases is discussed at the cell's meeting in presence of the investigation officers concerned, said an official of the Criminal Investigation Department present at the meeting.
The inclusion, however, does not guarantee rapid headway in a case, he added on condition of anonymity.
Usually, the cell sits every three months but the ministry can call the meeting any time, Sahara told reporters. However, its last meeting was held in December last year.
State Minister for Home Shamsul Haque Tuku confirmed the inclusion of the murder case of the six college and university students.
The six were beaten to death by villagers who took them for robbers on July 18 at Baradeshi of Aminbazar on the outskirts of the capital.
Yesterday's meeting discussed 12 sensational cases --11 for murder and one for kidnap.
Of them, charge sheets in Bashundhara Group director Sabbir killing case, freedom fighter Anwara Abedin Chowdhury murder case and Ramna Thana Mosque Imam Maulana Hafez Md Ishaque murder case have been submitted.
Asked about Juba League activist Ibrahim murder case, Sahara said police are likely to prepare the charge sheet before the next meeting of the cell.
Ibrahim was killed by a bullet "accidentally" fired from Awami League MP Nurunnabi Chowdhury Shaon's licensed pistol in the Sangsad Bhaban area on August 13 last year.
Bashundhara Group director Sabbir was killed in 2006.
During the current government rule, 396 cases were included in the list of sensational cases. Of them, trials of 157 cases have been completed.
Another 177 cases are under trial and 34 others under investigation.
