                <![CDATA[Bring back two key accused of the murder of Inqilab Moncho convener Shaheed Sharif Osman Hadi including prime accused Faisal Karim Masud and Alamgir is underway. ISPR.

The two accused &mdash; Rahul, also known as Faisal Karim Masud, 37, and Alamgir Hossain, 34 &mdash; were detained from the Bangaon area of West Bengal.

According to relevant sources, DGFI Director General Major General Mohammad Kaysar Rashid Chowdhury recently visited India, after which Indian authorities intensified action against individuals who had fled Bangladesh. Faisal and Alamgir are believed to have entered India illegally through the Meghalaya border following the killing and later moved between different locations before attempting to take shelter near the Bangaon border with plans to return to Bangladesh.

They were arrested late Saturday night and produced before a court in Bidhannagar, West Bengal, on Sunday. The court granted police 14 days of custody for interrogation.

Officials said that once legal procedures in India are completed, efforts are underway to expedite their return to Bangladesh.

Sharif Osman Hadi was shot on December 12 last year on Box Culvert Road under Paltan Police Station in Dhaka.

                <![CDATA[A Dhaka court on Wednesday issued arrest warrants against Transcom Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Simeen Rahman and two others in a case filed over the alleged embezzlement of 14,160 shares through forged signatures and fake stamps.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefatullah passed the order on Wednesday (21 January) after taking cognisance of the charge sheet submitted in the case.

The other two individuals facing arrest warrants are Mrs Shahnaz Rahman, wife of Transcom founder Latifur Rahman, and Transcom Group director Shamsuzzaman Patwary.

Confirming the development, Plaintiff&rsquo;s lawyer Monir Hossain said, the court accepted the charge sheet submitted by the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) and issued arrest warrants against Simeen Rahman and the other two accused.

&ldquo;Police can arrest them at any time as they are now warrant-listed accused,&rdquo; he added.

According to court sources, six people have been accused in the case. Of them, Transcom director Md Kamrul Hasan, Md Mosaddeq and Abu Yusuf Md Siddiq appeared before the court on Wednesday.

Their lawyers filed petitions seeking permanent bail, which the court granted. However, Simeen Rahman and the two other accused were absent, prompting the court to issue arrest warrants against them.

The court has fixed 2 February as the next date for submitting a report on the execution of the warrants.

Earlier, on 11 January, Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) Inspector Syed Sajedur Rahman submitted the charge sheet to the court, naming Simeen Rahman and five others as accused in the case.]]>

                <![CDATA[Hatia gunfight killed 5 people and injured 10 today to take control of char land in Hatia of Noakhali district. The clash occurred around 10:00 AM in Jaglar Char village, on the border of wards 7 and 8 of Sukhchar union.

Police identified one of the dead as Alauddin, 40, son of the Mahiuddin of Cherang Bari in Char Aman Ullah village under Sukhchar union. The identities of the other four victims could not be confirmed immediately.

Hatia Police Station officer-in-charge Mohammad Saiful Alam confirmed the incident, saying one body was taken to Noakhali General Hospital while four others were recovered from the scene.

According to local sources, the land in Jaglar Char has not been officially leased by the government. Taking advantage of this, after August 5, a group known as the Kopa Shamsu gang from Jahajmara Union allegedly sold portions of the land. Later, a rival group led by Alauddin from Sukhchar Union attempted to take control and reportedly sold some plots at higher prices. Tensions escalated as both sides tried to assert dominance and sell the same land.

Residents alleged that Alauddin, described as a notorious gang leader, had links with local political figures, including former Sukhchar Union BNP president Belayet Hossain Selim, Awami League leader Nizam Member, and BNP leader Nabi. With alleged backing, Alauddin&rsquo;s group sought to evict the Kopa Shamsu gang, leading to repeated disputes and rising hostility.

On Tuesday morning, the confrontation turned violent as the Kopa Shamsu and Alauddin groups engaged in a gun battle. Alauddin and four others were shot. Alauddin was taken to the 250-bed Noakhali General Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. The other four victims died at the scene.

Local residents said three armed groups &mdash; Farid Commander&rsquo;s group, the Shamsu group, and the Alauddin group &mdash; were involved in the shooting. They claimed both the Shamsu group leader and Alauddin were killed, while Farid and his associates fled.

Residents also alleged that the char area has remained lawless for a long time, with houses set on fire during clashes and armed groups extorting large sums of money. Due to the remoteness of the area, they fear the casualty count could rise.

Police said reaching the remote char area took time, with officers arriving around 4:30pm. &ldquo;One body is at Noakhali General Hospital and four have been recovered from the scene. The exact causes of death will be confirmed after autopsies,&rdquo; the officer-in-charge said.

Attempts to contact former BNP leader Belayet Hossain Selim for comment were unsuccessful, as his phone was found switched off.

                <![CDATA[A close associate of the prime accused in the attempted murder of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman bin Hadi told a Dhaka court on Tuesday that he had no knowledge of the attack, claiming he only accompanied the accused to Banglamotor and Inqilab Cultural Centre.

Kabir, an aide of main suspect Faisal Karim Masud, was produced before the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Hasibuzzaman in the afternoon following his arrest in attempted murder case involving Osman Hadi, a prospective independent candidate from Dhaka-8 constituency.

During the remand hearing, Kabir told the court that he was unaware of the incident and denied any involvement. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know anything about the incident. I only went with Faisal to Banglamotor and Inqilab Cultural Centre; nothing more,&rdquo; he said after receiving the court&rsquo;s permission to speak. Kabir appeared without legal representation.

The investigating officer, Detective Branch (DB) Inspector Faisal Ahmed, sought a 10-day remand for further interrogation. After the hearing, the court granted seven days&rsquo; remand.

Opposing the defense, Assistant Public Prosecutor (APP) Kaiyum Hossain Nayan told the court that Kabir is a close associate of the prime accused and had allegedly supplied weapons used in the attack.

The prosecutor also said investigators need to determine whether any foreign intelligence agency, including India&rsquo;s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), was involved.

He added that Kabir has knowledge of illegal arms transactions and is a joint convener of Awami League&rsquo;s Swechchhasebak League in the capital&#39;s Adabar area.

When asked by the court about the motorcycle used in the crime, Kabir claimed it had been purchased by his friend Mainul Islam Shuvo using Kabir&rsquo;s national ID card.

&ldquo;The ownership is his, but it was bought using my ID,&rdquo; he said.

When the court asked whether the vehicle was registered in his name, Kabir replied in the negative.

The attack occurred last Friday, a day after the election schedule was announced, when assailants fired at Osman Hadi from a moving motorcycle on Box Culvert Road at Old Paltan while he was traveling in a rickshaw.

Hadi, who was campaigning as an independent candidate for Dhaka-8 seat, sustained a gunshot wound to the head and remains in critical condition.

He was flown to Singapore by air ambulance on Monday for advanced treatment.

Following the incident, a case was filed with Paltan Police Station on Sunday night by Inqilab Mancha joint secretary Abdullah Al Jaber, naming Faisal as the prime accused.

Police have since arrested Faisal&rsquo;s wife Saheda Parvin Samia, his brother-in-law Wahid Ahmed Shipu and his friend Maria Akter Lima, who were placed on remand on Monday.

Earlier, Abdul Hannan, identified as the motorcycle owner, was detained under Section 54 and placed on a three-day remand.

                <![CDATA[Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) Executive Director Dr. Iftekharuzzaman criticized the interim government for failing to take a firm stance against corruption.

Speaking at a press briefing at TIB&rsquo;s Dhaka office on the organization&rsquo;s recommendations for political party manifestos ahead of the 13th national parliamentary election, he said, &ldquo;The interim government had the opportunity to take a much stronger position against corruption since 5 August, but it cannot be denied that they may have failed to do so.&rdquo;

Dr. Iftekharuzzaman noted that TIB is still analyzing comparative data and does not yet have figures to confirm whether corruption has increased or decreased since the interim government took office.

However, he emphasized that corrupt practices have persisted.

&ldquo;We have seen instances since the afternoon of 5 August where certain individuals have abused political power and governance space, engaging in corruption ranging from partisan influence to illegal occupation and extortion,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Corruption has also been reported across various government departments,&rdquo; he added.

                <![CDATA[The prosecution at the International Crimes Tribunal-1 has formally urged the court to indict 13 individuals &mdash; including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina &mdash; over allegations of enforced disappearances and torture said to have been carried out at Joint Interrogation Cell (JIC) during last Awami League administration. Chief Prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam on Sunday pressed the tribunal to frame five specific charges under the allegations.

Three of the accused &mdash; Sheikh Md Sarwar Hossain, Md Mahbubur Rahman Siddiqui and Ahmed Tanvir Mazhar Siddiqui &mdash; were produced before the bench for the hearing.

Following the prosecution&rsquo;s submission, the three-member panel chaired by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mazumder adjourned proceedings until December 9, when the defence is expected to argue its discharge petitions on behalf of the accused.

The tribunal had earlier, on October 8, taken cognisance of allegations against 30 individuals, including Sheikh Hasina, across two separate cases involving alleged torture and disappearances at both the JIC and the Taskforce for Interrogation (TFI) Cell.

In the JIC-related case, prosecutors brought forward five charges against 13 accused, among them former security and defence adviser Tarique Ahmed Siddique, as well as Md Akbar Hossain, Md Saiful Abedin, Md Saiful Alam, Md Tabrej Shams Chowdhury, Hamidul Haque, Mohammad Touhidul Islam, Sheikh Md Sarwar Hossain, Kabir Ahmed, Md Mahbubur Rahman Siddiqui, Ahmed Tanvir Mazhar Siddiqui and Mokhchurul Haque.

A separate set of five charges was submitted against 17 individuals &mdash; again including Sheikh Hasina and Tarique Ahmed Siddique &mdash; for alleged abuses at the TFI Cell.

Others named in that case include Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Benazir Ahmed, M Khurshid Hossain, Barrister Md Harun Ur Rashid, Anwar Latif Khan, Md Jahangir Alam, Tofayel Mostafa Sarwar, KM Azad, Md Qamrul Hasan, Md Mahabub Alam, Abdullah Al Momen, Md Sarwar Bin Qashem, Md Khairul Islam, Md Moshiur Rahman Jewel and Saiful Islam Suman.

The tribunal will continue hearings next week as it considers whether to advance the cases to full trial.

                <![CDATA[The International Crimes Tribunal-1 has sentenced deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death in the much-anticipated case over crimes against humanity involving the last year&#39;s July Mass Uprising.

A three-member bench of the ICT-1, led by Justice Golam Mortuza, pronounced the judgement on Monday in presence of co-accused former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun.

Sheikh Hasina and Asaduzzaman are fugitive, while Mamun, a state witness, is under police custody. The tribunal also ordered to confiscate the properties of Hasina and Asaduzzaman in favour of the state.

This is the first judgement in the July uprising case. According to the tribunal judgement, Sheikh Hasina was sentenced in two charges, while Asaduzzaman was sentenced in one charge. As Mamun is the approver, he awarded five-year jail sentences. The 453-page verdict consists of six parts, said one of the judges of the panel while stating the preamble of the verdict. He also said, there is no scope under the law to raise a question over the jurisdiction of the ICT.

On June 1, the prosecution formally filed charges against Sheikh Hasina and the two accused. Those are:

1. Inciting the crimes through provocative speech:

Following Sheikh Hasina&#39;s speech at a press briefing on July 14, 2024, former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, former IGP Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun and other senior officials of the then government abetted, assisted and were complicit in launching a severe and coordinated attack on unarmed student protesters.

2. Ordering the extermination of protesters using lethal weapons:

Sheikh Hasina is accused of ordering the extermination of student demonstrators through the use of helicopters, drones and lethal weapons. The then home minister and the then IGP facilitated and implemented this directive by issuing instructions to law enforcement personnel under their command.

3. Killing of BRUR student Abu Sayed:

This charge concerns the July 16, 2024 killing of Begum Rokeya University student Abu Sayed, who was shot multiple times at close range in the chest.

4. Chankharpul killings:

The shooting and killing of six unarmed protesters in Dhaka&#39;s Chankharpul area on August 5, 2024, has been brought as a separate count of crimes against humanity.

5. Ashulia mass killing:

The prosecution also cited the shooting of six student protesters in Ashulia on August 5, 2024 - five of whom were later burned after death, while the sixth was allegedly set on fire while still alive.

Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, who testified as a state witness, received a five-year prison term.

The Awami League government fell on August 5, 2024, amid the uprising of the students and mass people.

Arguments in the case began on October 12 and concluded on October 23. Total 54 witnesses testified during the trial.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir express his reaction on the verdict as &lsquo;end of all dictatorships&rsquo; 

On the other hand Law Adviser Asif Nazrul has said the government will send a fresh letter to India seeking the extradition of deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, following her death sentence handed down by International Crimes Tribunal-1 (ICT-1).

Despite the verdict, its implementation remains uncertain because both Hasina and Asaduzzaman Khan have been residing in India since the fall of Awami League government on 5 August last year.

A previous request from Bangladesh for Hasina&rsquo;s extradition received no response from New Delhi.

Speaking to reporters at Secretariat after the verdict, Asif Nazrul said the government would again formally ask India to return the former prime minister.

He added that continued sheltering of Hasina would amount to an unfriendly act toward Bangladesh.

Prosecutor Gazi Monowar Hossain Tamim said earlier that, following conviction, the prosecution will apply to Interpol for a &ldquo;conviction warrant&rdquo; to support the issuance of a Red Notice.

                <![CDATA[Bangladeshi authorities have alerted immigration officials to prevent suspects from fleeing the country following the filing of a murder case nearly 29 years after the actor&rsquo;s death.

Ramna Police Station Officer-in-Charge Golam Faruk confirmed on Saturday that a murder case has been filed against 11 individuals, including Salman Shah&rsquo;s ex-wife Samira Haque, in compliance with a Dhaka court order. Several other accused are listed as &quot;unknown&quot; as the investigation continues.

&ldquo;The investigation is underway,&rdquo; Faruk said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re using mobile tracking and other digital tools to locate the suspects within Bangladesh and tracing those believed to be abroad. Immigration checkposts have been notified to stop any accused from leaving the country.&rdquo;

Salman Shah was found dead at his Eskaton residence in Dhaka on September 6, 1996, at the age of 26. While the original Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) report concluded he died by suicide, his family has long contested this, alleging foul play. His mother, Neela Chowdhury, has consistently claimed he was murdered.

The formal murder case was filed on October 21, 2025, with Alamgir Kumkum, the actor&rsquo;s maternal uncle, acting as the complainant. The move follows years of public pressure and legal appeals for a fresh inquiry. The accuseds are including Samira Haque (former wife), businessman Aziz Mohammad Bhai, Latifa Haque Lucy, film actor Don and several others linked to the deceased.

Authorities said that forensic evidence, witness statements, and new leads have prompted them to treat the case as a potential homicide involving conspiracy. &ldquo;We are committed to uncovering the truth,&rdquo; OC Faruk added. &ldquo;The suspects will be arrested soon and brought to justice under due process.&rdquo;

                <![CDATA[Police have recommended to drop the murder charge against actor Iresh Zaker and Ikram Moin Chowdhury, managing director of Forethought PR (a concern of Asiatic), in a case over the killing of BNP activist Mahfuz Alam Shraban in Dhaka&rsquo;s Mirpur area. Mirpur Model Police Station Inspector Sajjad Roman, the investigation officer, submitted an interim investigation report to the court on October 9, sources at the Dhaka court confirmed on Thursday (October 23).

According to the report, investigators found no eyewitnesses or credible evidence placing Iresh Zaker or Ikram Moin Chowdhury at the crime scene around 2:30 pm on August 5, 2024. No still images or video footage showed their presence and no documentary or circumstantial proof linked them to the incident. The officer, therefore, recommended that they be temporarily released from the charges. The report adds that legal action would be taken if any new evidence emerges.

Earlier, on March 27, the victim&rsquo;s brother, Mostafizur Rahman Bappy, filed the case over Shraban&rsquo;s death. The court later directed Mirpur police to record it as a First Information Report (FIR), naming 407 accused, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The complaint alleged that on August 5, a BNP procession in Mirpur was attacked by ruling party activists on the accused&rsquo;s instructions. The attackers reportedly fired bullets and rubber rounds and used tear gas, sound grenades and explosives, leaving Shraban fatally injured. He was declared dead after being taken to a local hospital.

                <![CDATA[Staff Reporter: A Dhaka court has ordered ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and 12 others to appear before it in connection with six graft cases initiated by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) over alleged irregularities in plot allocations in Purbachal. The interim government has also been directed to publish the order in an official gazette. Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Zakir Hossain Ghalib issued the directive on Tuesday, following a petition from the anti-graft watchdog. The deposed premier has been asked to submit her statement in this regard by Jul 1, according to ACC prosecutor Mir Ahmed Ali Salam.

Others ordered to appear include former state minister for Housing and Public Works Sharif Ahmed, Ministry of Housing and Public Works Senior Assistant Secretary Purabi Goldar, former chairman of RAJUK (Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha, or Capital Development Authority) Md Anisur Rahman Miah, former RAJUK members Shafiul Haque, Khurshid Alam, Mohammad Nasir Uddin, Shamsuddin Ahmed Chowdhury, Nayeb Ali Sharif, Saiful Islam Sarkar, Kazi Wasi Uddin, and Shahid Ullah Khondoker.

The ACC lawyer said: &ldquo;Today was the scheduled date for six cases involving corruption in plot allocations. In five of those cases, police failed to submit reports on the arrest of the accused. &ldquo;The report in one case cited that 12 individuals, including former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, are absconding. &ldquo;We then petitioned the court to publish a gazette ordering the accused to appear before the court. The court later ordered that the gazette be issued through the BG (Bangladesh Government) Press.&rdquo; The Hasina-led Awami League government was toppled by a student-led mass movement on Aug 5, 2024. That day Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana fled the country to India. Other members of her family were abroad at the time.

In December, the ACC launched an investigation into allegations of irregularities and corruption against them in the allocation of six plots under the Purbachal New Town Project. Six cases were eventually filed and chargesheets have already been submitted. As the accused remain at large, arrest warrants have been issued against them.
