The prosecution has applied to produce dismissed military officer Ziaul Ahsan before the International Crimes Tribunal in a case alleging the disappearance and torture of Salahuddin Ahmed in the Rapid Action Battalion’s Taskforce Interrogation Cell. The application was filed at the tribunal on Sunday, according to the report.

Prosecution sources said Ziaul Ahsan may be formally shown arrested in the case after he is produced before the court. On Saturday, Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam told journalists that the investigation agency had found the involvement of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Ziaul Ahsan, and senior officials of the then RAB and police.

Citing the investigation agency’s findings, the chief prosecutor said Salahuddin Ahmed, then a joint secretary general of BNP, was disappeared from Uttara in the capital in 2015. He was allegedly held and tortured in a secret detention facility, the TFI Cell, at RAB headquarters. The prosecution said it would complete the investigation quickly and bring those involved to trial.
