Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) stated that investigators have found evidence of 32 killings during the 2013 Hefazat-e-Islam rally at Shapla Chattar in Motijheel, Dhaka. He told reporters on Sunday that about 90 percent of the investigation has been completed and the report is expected to be submitted within the month. The case involves allegations of crimes against humanity.

According to the prosecutor, the investigation may name around 20 to 25 accused, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. However, he said it would not be appropriate to disclose all names at this stage for the sake of the investigation. In the related case, nine individuals, including Sheikh Hasina, have been initially accused, with four currently in custody.

Those detained include former state minister for home Shamsul Haque Tuku, former inspector general of police A.K.M. Shahidul Haque, retired Major General Ziaul Ahsan, and former deputy inspector general Mollah Nazrul Islam. The remaining accused, including former ministers and police chiefs, are reported to be absconding.
