Lead investigator Md. Alamgir testified for the third consecutive day in the case against Sheikh Hasina and two others, stating that during the July–August uprising, killings took place at 438 locations across 41 districts, with lethal weapons used in over 50 districts.
His testimony, broadcast live on BTV and the tribunal’s Facebook page, alleged that over the past 15 years, murders, disappearances, abductions, rigged elections, and staged militancy incidents all served to prolong Awami League’s grip on power.
Alamgir added that security forces fired 305,000 rounds of ammunition during the July protests alone, based on official records. Meanwhile, the tribunal adjourned testimony in the Abu Sayeed martyrdom case as the witness fell ill, rescheduling for next Monday.
