Judge Md Mujibur Rahman of the Anti-Terrorism Special Tribunal set aside the date on Sunday after the state and defence finished their arguments. The state sought death sentence for the accused while the defence lawyers said the prosecutors failed to prove the charges. Dipan, 43, was killed in his third-floor office at the Aziz Super Market in Dhaka on Oct 31, 2015. Dipan’s Jagriti Prokashony published Avijit’s books. Another publisher of Avijit’s books, Rashid Chowdhury Tutul, survived an attack on his office in Lalmatia.
