Nakib Hossain, father of six-year-old Jabir Ibrahim, testified on Monday before International Crimes Tribunal-1 as the sixth witness in a case against Sheikh Hasina’s son and ICT adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy and former state minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak. He described how his son was shot in the thigh during a rally near Uttara Scholastica School on August 5, 2024, and later died after being taken to several hospitals.

According to Nakib’s statement, a group of 15–20 helmeted men opened fire and threw sound grenades toward the crowd. He said he carried his injured son to multiple hospitals, but Jabir was declared dead at Dhaka Specialized Hospital. Nakib buried his son in Uttara Sector 4 cemetery.

Nakib held then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her son Joy, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, and ICT Minister Palak responsible for the shooting, claiming the attack was carried out under their orders. He demanded maximum punishment for those involved.
