DHAKA, June 10, 2026 (BSS) – The remains of popular film star Salman Shah will be exhumed from his grave, followed by the preparation of an inquest report and an autopsy, as part of efforts to determine the actual cause of his death.
Confirming the development to BSS, investigating officer and CID Inspector Ziaul Morshed said he had sought the court's permission to exhume the remains of Salman Shah (Chowdhury Mohammad Shahriar Emon), prepare an inquest report and conduct an autopsy in the presence of an executive magistrate to determine the actual cause of his death.
"The court granted the petition. There are some procedural formalities to be completed. Once those are done, we will exhume the body, prepare the inquest report and conduct the autopsy," he said.
The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Jewel Rana passed the order recently.
On October 21, 2025, Salman Shah's maternal uncle Mohammad Alamgir filed a case against 11 people, including Salman's wife Samira Haque, with the capital's Ramna Police Station under sections 302 and 34 of the Penal Code. The other accused are: Aziz Mohammad Bhai, Samira's mother Latifa Haque Lusi, actor Dawn, David, Zaved, Faruk, Ruby, A Sattar, Saju and Rijvi Ahmed Farhad.
Earlier on October 20, 2025, Dhaka's Sixth Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Jannatul Ferdous Ibn Haque ordered the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Ramna Police Station to treat the case filed over the death of Chowdhury Mohammad Shahriar (Emon), popularly known as Salman Shah, as a murder case and submit a report in this regard.
The court, in its order, said that the unnatural death (UD) case was hereby cancelled and revoked by order passed on October 31, 2021.
