An attempted murder case has been filed against noted Supreme Court Lawyer ZI Khan Panna over injuring a youth during the mass student-led protests.
One Md Baker filed the case with Khilgaon police station on Thursday.
He accused 180 persons including Panna on charge of shooting his son Ahadul Islam on July 19.
According to the case statement, Ahadul and other protesters were demonstrating near Meradia Bazar when numerous named defendants, along with unidentified members of the BGB, police personnel, and Awami League leaders and activists, allegedly opened fire at the instigation of other accused individuals.
Ahadul sustained bullet wounds in the incident and was reportedly beaten by the assailants after falling to the ground, as stated in the complaint.
He was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Other accused in the case are former Obaidul Quader, Asaduzzaman Khan, and current Director General of the BGB, Major General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui.
ZI Khan Panna recently condemned Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus over his "reset button" comment and for filing cases that broadly accuse individuals of murder.
He argued that these cases are designed to intimidate people, hindering the pursuit of justice for the victims.
