******* case brought against Bangladesh’s ex-PM

A ******* investigation has been opened into Bangladesh’s ex-premier Sheikh Hasina over the police ******** of a man during civil unrest last month.

Six other top figures in the previous government are also being investigated following weeks of deadly unrest in the capital Dhaka.

Mamun Mia, a lawyer who brought the case on behalf of a private citizen, said the court in Dhaka had ordered police to accept “the ******* case against the accused persons”.

This is the first step in a ********* investigation under Bangladeshi law.

Ms Hasina resigned and left the country earlier this month, fleeing to India after political unrest destabilised the government.

More than 400 people were ******* in weeks of student demonstrations against Ms Hasina. Many of them were shot by the police, on her orders.

Businessman Amir Hamza applied to bring the ******* case in July, after a local grocer, Abu Saeed was shot in the head while crossing the road.

He told a magistrate’s court that on 19 July, students were holding a peaceful protest, and police had fired indiscriminately on the crowd, according to BBC Bangla.

The former Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader is among those being investigated.
