Former information minister and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JASAD) president Hasanul Haq Inu has been sentenced in a case over the killing of six people during the July Revolution in Kushtia. The verdict has sparked anger among families of the victims, July fighters, and several political leaders, who expressed dissatisfaction with the court’s decision.
Sujon Mahmud Farazi, son of slain businessman Bablu Farazi, said the verdict failed to include those directly involved in the shooting, including police and local Awami League activists. July fighter Shoaib Hasan Rayan called the ten-year prison sentence an insult to the martyrs and demanded Inu’s execution. Leaders from the National Citizens Party and the local BNP unit also criticized the ruling, urging the government to appeal for a harsher sentence.
In contrast, JASAD’s Kushtia district leadership rejected the verdict, calling it politically motivated and claiming that prosecutors failed to prove Inu’s involvement in the killings. The case relates to the August 5 incident when police opened fire on protesters in Kushtia, killing six people and injuring many others.
