The International Crimes Tribunal-1 has ordered the start of trial proceedings against former Jashore Superintendent of Police Anisur Rahman and seven others in connection with a 2016 incident in Chowgacha, Jashore. The case involves allegations that police staged a gunfight after arresting two Islami Chhatra Shibir leaders and shooting them in the legs. The tribunal, led by Justice Shofiul Alam Mahmood with Judge Mohitul Haque Enam Chowdhury, fixed June 1 for opening statements and the first witness testimony.
Three accused—then Sub-Inspector Akikul Islam and constables Sajjadur Rahman and Jahurul Haque—are in custody, while five others, including the former SP, remain absconding. The tribunal rejected the defense’s plea for discharge, which argued that the incident was isolated and not a crime against humanity. Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam countered that the case was part of a wider pattern of systematic attacks between 2009 and 2015.
According to the case details, the two victims were allegedly tortured for two nights and shot under the direction of the former SP, leading to severe injuries that required amputation.
