On August 5, during the ‘March to Dhaka’ peaceful rally in Dhaka’s Chankharpul area, police opened indiscriminate fire, killing six protesters. According to the charges filed at the International Crimes Tribunal, the order to open fire came from former ADC Habibur Rahman of the Ramna zone. When Constable Ajay Ghosh refused to shoot, his rifle was reportedly taken from him, and the shots were fired by Sujon Hossain.
The incident is currently under investigation as a crime against humanity. While former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the ex-Home Minister are mentioned in the charge sheet under the doctrine of "superior command responsibility," they have not been formally accused due to the ongoing investigation. Of the eight individuals implicated, four have been arrested while four remain fugitives. A formal indictment is expected on July 14.
