The International Crimes Tribunal will announce its verdict on Tuesday, January 20, in the Chankharpul murder case involving the killing of six people, including Shahid Anas. Bangladesh Television (BTV) will broadcast the verdict live. The case stems from the police shooting during a student protest in the Chankharpul area on August 5, 2024, which left several people dead and many injured.

Four accused are currently in custody: former Shahbagh Police Station officer (operations) Md Arshad Hossain, constable Md Sujon Mia, Md Imaje Hossain Imon, and Md Nasirul Islam. Four others remain fugitives, including former DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman, former Joint Commissioner Sudip Kumar Chakraborty, former Additional Deputy Commissioner Shah Alam Md Akhtarul Islam, and former Assistant Commissioner Mohammad Imrul.

The tribunal had earlier, on July 14, 2025, framed charges against all eight accused and ordered the trial to begin. The upcoming verdict marks a key moment in the judicial process surrounding the 2024 Chankharpul protest killings.
