A writ petition has been filed in the High Court seeking to postpone the upcoming national election until all weapons looted during the 2024 mass uprising are recovered. The petition was submitted on Wednesday, January 14, by lawyer Md. Mahmudul Hasan. The Cabinet Secretary, Home Secretary, Law Secretary, Election Commission Secretary, Inspector General of Police, and Director General of RAB have been named as respondents.
According to the petition, media reports indicate that 5,750 firearms and 651,609 rounds of ammunition were stolen from various police stations and law enforcement offices during the 2024 uprising. Despite government rewards for recovery, a significant portion of the weapons remains missing. The petition argues that the presence of these illegal arms poses a serious threat to voters and candidates, citing the killing of Dhaka-8 parliamentary candidate Shahid Sharif Osman Hadi as evidence of the danger.
The petition requests that the election be suspended until all looted arms and ammunition are recovered and a secure environment for voting is ensured.
