Actor Ashraful Haque Don Faces Remand Hearing in Salman Shah Murder Case
Actor Ashraful Haque Don has been arrested in connection with the murder case of film star Salman Shah. The Criminal Investigation Department has formally requested a seven-day remand to question the actor.
In developments surrounding a high-profile historical investigation in Dhaka, film actor Ashraful Haque Don has been arrested in connection with the murder case of iconic film star Salman Shah. The arrest marks a significant procedural step in the long-standing judicial scrutiny regarding the death of the celebrated actor, which took place decades ago on September 6, 1996.
Following the arrest of actor Ashraful Haque Don, the legal proceedings advanced further on August 27, 2026. The investigation into the matter is being handled by the Criminal Investigation Department, commonly known as the CID. Law enforcement authorities and investigative personnel are moving forward with formal judicial procedures to interrogate the suspect thoroughly regarding the circumstances of the historical case.
In connection with these ongoing interrogation efforts, the designated investigation officer of the CID, Inspector Md. Mujibur Rahman, has officially submitted a formal petition to the court. Through this legal application, Inspector Rahman has formally sought a seven-day remand period to question actor Ashraful Haque Don in police custody to gather further details pertaining to the murder allegations.
The current legal proceedings stem from a formal complaint filed relatively recently, despite the timeline of the primary incident. Specifically, on October 21, 2025, Mohammad Alamgir, who is the maternal uncle of the late film star Salman Shah, officially lodged a murder case at the Ramna Police Station. This foundational police case paved the way for the subsequent investigations and the recent apprehension of actor Ashraful Haque Don by law enforcement agencies.
