According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the three-member tribunal, headed by Justice Golam Mortuza Mozumder, passed the order in response to a prosecution plea and scheduled January 26 for the accused to be presented before the court. Prosecutor Gazi MH Tamim stated, “We have brought three charges against them for killing 10 people in Narayanganj on July 19, 21 and August 5, 2024.”
The prosecution filed the formal charge at the ICT Registrar’s office earlier today.
