The Women and Children Repression Prevention Court yesterday stayed the proceedings in the Mili rape and murder case for two months after the father of the victim filed a time petition.

Judge AKM Sirajul Islam issued the stay order as Mansur Rahman, father of Mili, seeks to transfer the case to another court.

During the period, Mansur will file a petition with the High Court for transferring the case to another court for fair justice.

Earlier, he also filed a Naraji (no-confidence) petition after the investigating authority submitted a final report recommending the release of the three accused.

Meanwhile, the city dwellers held a rally on the court premises, demanding punishment to the culprits. Mili's mother Hasina Begum presided over the rally.
