Former prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, along with six others, has been booked for the murder of a grocery store owner, Dhaka Tribune reported
Abu Sayed, a local grocery store proprietor, lost his life during a police shooting incident on July 19 in the Mohammadpur area of Dhaka.
This marks the first legal action taken against Hasina since she resigned as PM and fled the country on August 5.
The other accused in case include several high-profile individuals, including Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader, and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kama. Additionally, the former inspector general of police (IGP), Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun, and Harunor Rashid, the former DB chief, are among the accused.
Other prominent figures named in the case are Habibur Rahman, the former DMP commissioner, and Biplob Kumar Sarker, who held the position of former DMP joint commissioner.
On August 5, Hasina stepped down from her role in the wake of a student-led revolt and sought refuge in India. Throughout her 15-year tenure, her administration was accused of widespread human rights abuses, including the unlawful execution of political opponents.
The military declared Hasina’s resignation and named Nobel Peace Prize recipient Muhammad Yunus to lead a caretaker government tasked with reestablishing stability and instituting democratic reforms.
