The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on Sunday ordered four people, including two former policemen, to be produced before it on April 9 in the crimes against humanity case related to the killing of Abu Sayed in Rangpur during the July-August mass uprising.
“The three-member tribunal led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder passed the order, allowing a plea of the prosecution,” ICT Chief Prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam said at a press briefing after the hearing.
The four accused are former sub-inspector Amir Hossain, former constable Sujan Chandra Roy, former proctor of Begum Rokeya University Shariful Islam and general secretary of the local Chhatra League (BCL) university wing Imran Chowdhury Akash.
Tajul said: "Before the killing of Abu Sayed, then proctor Shariful and leaders and activists of the Chhatra League attacked the university students and flashed them out of their campus. At one point, two policemen shot and killed Abu Sayed from very close range.”
He added: “We have found evidence indicating Shariful's direct involvement in the killing. All four have already been arrested and are now behind bars. The tribunal today ordered to produce them on April 9."
The ICT chief prosecutor said: “The investigation agency of the tribunal is likely to file its probe report in the crimes against humanity case against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina within this month.”
The family members of martyr Abu Sayed on January 13 filed a complaint against 25 people over his killing.
