DHAKA: The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) today issued an arrest warrant against four policemen, including former Officer-in-Charge (Investigation) of Jatrabari Police Station, Jakir Hossain, over their alleged role in the killings and genocides committed during the student-led mass uprising in July and August. According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the three-judge panel of the ICT, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, passed the order allowing a plea filed and moved by Chief Prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam. Confirming the information to reporters, the ICT chief prosecutor stated that the probe body has found irrefutable evidence against the four for their barbaric role during the July and August mass uprising. However, the chief prosecutor refrained from disclosing the names of the three other accused due to security reasons. Meanwhile, Mohammad Limon Hossain, who lost his leg after being shot by the Rapid Action Battalion in 2011, filed a petition to the ICT today, pleading for the abolition of the elite force. Limon also called for the trial of former military adviser Tarique Ahmed Siddique, former RAB official Ziaul Ahsan, RAB-8 officer Major Rashed, and others for their roles in his ordeal.
