A Dhaka court has postponed the charge-framing hearing against former ruler Sheikh Hasina and 33 others in the murder case of truck driver Hossain, setting a new date for July 26. The hearing was delayed as several accused were absent from court. The decision was made by Judge Robiul Alam of Dhaka’s Special Judge Court No. 4, following a request from the prosecution for more time.

The case stems from the killing of truck driver Md. Hossain during the anti-discrimination student movement in Mohammadpur’s Chand Udyan area on July 19, 2024. Hossain was shot dead while returning home from work. His mother, Rina Begum, filed the murder case on August 31, 2024. Police submitted a charge sheet on November 23, 2025, naming Sheikh Hasina and 33 others, including several former ministers and leaders of the banned student organization Chhatra League.

Among the accused, Junaid Ahmed Palak, Sadeq Khan, Furkan Hossain, and Shahjahan Khan have been shown arrested and are currently in jail.
