The High Court of Bangladesh has upheld the death sentences of former Teknaf Police Station Officer-in-Charge Pradeep Kumar Das and Inspector Md. Liaqat Ali in the high-profile murder case of retired army major Sinha Md. Rashed Khan. The court also confirmed life imprisonment for six other convicts and maintained a fine of 50,000 taka for each. The verdict was delivered by a bench comprising Justice Md. Mostafizur Rahman and Justice Md. Saghir Hossain. The convicts now have 30 days to appeal the decision. Major Sinha was shot dead on July 31, 2020, at a police checkpoint in Cox’s Bazar’s Shamlapur area. His sister later filed a murder case, and the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) submitted a charge sheet accusing 15 people, describing the incident as a premeditated killing. The Cox’s Bazar District and Sessions Judge’s Court had earlier sentenced Pradeep and Liaqat to death and six others to life imprisonment in January 2022.
