A murder case has been filed against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader, and 89 others in the capital’s Lalbagh Police Station during the early hours today (18 August).
Kamrul Hasan, the father of Khalid Hasan Saifullah, a student killed during the Anti-discrimination Movement, filed the case.
Besides Hasina and Quader, the case mentions the former law minister, home minister, and information state minister among 91 individuals.
The case document mentions that Khalid Saifullah, a student of the Ideal School and College, participated in the anti-discrimination movement like other students.
On 18 July, law enforcement officers indiscriminately fired at the students with direct support from the accused, resulting in Khalid being fatally shot.
On 20 July, his body was identified in the hospital.
The plaintiff alleged that the officer-in-charge of the police station had been evasive about the case from the beginning, causing agitation among the students.
Kamrul Hasan said that the case was later accepted in the presence of the senior army officials around 2am.
