Families of those killed and injured in the 2021 anti-Modi protests in Brahmanbaria continue to seek justice, four years after security forces opened fire on demonstrators. Seventeen worshippers were killed and more than 500 others were injured when police and ruling party activists allegedly attacked protesters opposing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Bangladesh. Despite numerous cases filed, no one directly linked to the killings has been brought to trial.
Following the incident, police filed 54 cases accusing over 10,000 religious individuals and clerics, leading to widespread dismissals and arrests of imams and madrasa teachers. Victims’ families claim they faced harassment instead of justice. After the July Revolution and the formation of an interim government, investigations began but progress remains slow.
Recently, a genocide case was filed in the International Crimes Tribunal naming several former officials and political leaders, including a former MP. Prosecutors confirmed that investigations into the Brahmanbaria massacre are underway and one accused has been formally arrested in connection with the case.
