The International Crimes Tribunal-2 has completed hearings in the case against Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JASAD) president Hasanul Haq Inu, accused of crimes against humanity over the killing of six people in Kushtia during the July uprising. The tribunal announced on Thursday that the verdict is now pending and may be delivered any day.

The prosecution, led by Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam, presented its closing arguments, while Inu’s defense, represented by lawyer Munsurul Haq Chowdhury, concluded its submissions after nine days of hearings. The defense argued that Inu had no involvement in the Kushtia killings and was not present in the area at the time. They also claimed that he was not a member of parliament during the 2024 July uprising.

The tribunal had earlier adjourned the hearing several times, with prosecutors including Faruk Ahmad, Moinul Karim, and Abdus Sobhan Torafdar participating. The case now awaits the tribunal’s judgment.
