Multiple Islamic scholars remain imprisoned for years due to disputed charge sheets in the murder case of former finance minister Shah A.M.S. Kibria. According to the report, three separate charge sheets were filed in the lower court, each differing from the others. The third, submitted in 2015 by CID officer Meherunnesa Parul, added several prominent scholars allegedly to show links with opposition and militancy. Among them, two died mysteriously in custody, while others, including Mufti Abdul Hai and Mufti Shafiqur Rahman, remain detained. The investigation officer later admitted under oath that political pressure influenced the inclusion of certain accused and that she was rewarded by the then government for filing the false charge sheet. Kibria’s son, Reza Kibria, accused Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her associates of manipulating the case for political motives. Legal experts and academics have called for an independent committee to review politically sensitive cases involving innocent scholars. Experts argue that repeated charge sheet changes and prolonged detentions indicate a justice system driven by political suspicion rather than evidence, urging immediate re-investigation and fair resolution.
