ICT issues arrest warrant against 4 cops over July-August genocides

DHAKA, Nov 12, 2024 (BSS) - The international Crimes Tribunal (ICT) today
issued 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.

The three-judge panel of the ICT, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder,
passed the order allowing a plea filed and moved by the Chief Prosecutor
Muhammad Tajul Islam.

Confirming the information to reporters, the ICT chief prosecutor said the
probe body has found irrefutable evidences against the four over their
barbaric role during the July and August mass uprising.

The chief prosecutor, however, refrained from disclosing the names of the
three other accused over security reason.

Meanwhile, Mohammad Limon Hossain, who lost his leg after getting shot by
Rapid Action Battalion in 2011, today filed a petition to the ICT, pleading
for abolishing the elite force.

Limon also pleaded for the trial of former military adviser Tarique Ahmed
Siddique, former RAB official Ziaul Ahsan and RAB-8 officer Major Rashed and
some others for their role in putting him through the ordeal.
