A no-confidence petition was filed Tuesday challenging the final investigation report about the suicide of college student Musharrat Jahan Munia.

The elder sister of the victim, and plaintiff of the case, Nusrat Jahan submitted the petition to the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) court.

Prosecution lawyer Masud Salauddin confirmed the matter to Prothom Alo.

On 26 April, police recovered the body of Musharrat, hanging from the ceiling in a flat at Gulshan in the capital. Later, the victim's elder sister filed a case against Sayem Sobhan Anvir–Bashundhara Group managing director–accusing him of ‘instigating suicide’.

In July, police submitted the final investigation report to the Dhaka court.

Musharrat of Ujir Dighirpar area in Cumilla district was the youngest daughter of freedom fighter Shafiqur Rahman.
