Metropolitan Magistrate Mosharraf Hossain passed the order after Raihan Uddin Khan, additional superintendent of police and also investigation officer of the case, failed to submit the probe report by Wednesday.
CID has now taken 80 dates to complete its probe into the case filed over the heist of $101 million from Bangladesh Bank's account with Federal Reserve Bank of New York in February 2016.
