The International Crimes Tribunal-1 in Dhaka has postponed the verdict in the Chan Kharpul six-murder case to January 26, 2026. The case concerns the killing of Shahriar Khan Anas and five others during the July Revolution of 2024. The three-member tribunal, led by Chairman Golam Mortuza Mojumdar, delayed the ruling as the judgment was not yet ready. The verdict was initially scheduled after both prosecution and defense completed their arguments on December 24, 2025.

According to the prosecution, 26 witnesses and extensive documentary, audio, video, and forensic evidence were presented, including recordings and police communication data. Prosecutor Gazi Tamim stated that the evidence proved the charges beyond doubt and sought maximum punishment and confiscation of fugitives’ assets for victim compensation. Eight former police officials are accused, four of whom are in custody while the rest remain fugitives.

This will be the second verdict related to crimes against humanity committed during the July Revolution, following the tribunal’s first ruling in November 2025 against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her associates.
