A case has been filed against 34 individuals—including two former MPs, a former superintendent of police, and other senior officers—for the 2012 custodial death of a BNP leader in Sherpur. The deceased, Abu Bakr Siddiqui Bachchu, then vice-president of Sherpur District Krishak Dal, was allegedly detained by the Detective Branch (DB) at the order of then-SP Anisur Rahman and former MP Atiur Rahman Atik. The following day, Bachchu’s lifeless body was found at his home. Family members allege he was killed solely for his involvement with the BNP.
