The bench of justices A H M Shamsuddin Chowdhury and Jahangir Hossain directed police not to comment on the print and electronic media unless the investigation makes any specific progress.
It ordered the information secretary to take steps within 24 hours to stop publishing 'flimsy' news on the issue.
The bench issued a rule asking why an order should not be issued to figure out the motive behind the murders and bring the murderers to justice.
The home secretary, information secretary, inspector general of police, director general of Rapid Action Battalion, Detective Branch deputy commissioner (south) and Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station officer-in-charge. They were given two weeks.
