The High Court has asked the Sitakunda police chief to explain why there were no cases over the death of four workers in an explosion at a ship breaking yard on Jan 18.
A bench of the court on Thursday ordered the police officer, Noor Mohammad, to appear before the court with the explanation on Feb 6.
The bench of justices A H M Shamsuddin Chowdhury and Sheikh Mohammad Zakir Hossain ordered Bangladesh
It also ordered the environment department director general to inform whether the shipyard had a license.
Earlier, the bench ordered the shipyard's owner, Abul Qasem Master, to remain standing inside the courtroom for four and half hours for defying court orders.
On Jan 19, just a day after the death of four workers, the High Court summoned Qasem as he violated a previous order to stop activities of ship breaking yards at Sitakunda until further notice.
