The investigation agency of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has submitted an investigation report to the prosecution against ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and two others in a case over charges of genocide, murder, and crimes against humanity committed during the July-August uprising of 2024.
The report and all case documents and CDs containing evidence of the crimes were submitted to the ICT Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam this morning (12 May).
Besides Hasina, the other two accused in the case are former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former inspector general of police Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun.
The prosecution team will now verify and thoroughly review the investigation report before submitting it to the ICT with the formal charge sheet.
This was the second investigation report submitted regarding atrocities that occurred during the student-led July-August uprising, which toppled the Awami League government after 15 years in power.
