A case application has been filed against former Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus, former interim government law adviser Dr. Asif Nazrul, and 14 others over the deaths of students in a plane crash at Milestone School and College in Uttara, Dhaka. The application was submitted on Thursday, May 7, 2026, to the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ariful Islam’s court by Ushaimong Marma, father of a deceased student. The court recorded the plaintiff’s statement and kept the order pending, according to the plaintiff’s lawyer A.K.M. Sharif Uddin.

The complaint alleges that the accused failed to perform their official duties properly and allowed a mechanically faulty F-7 fighter jet to conduct training flights over densely populated Dhaka, leading to a deadly crash. It also accuses them of negligence in rescue operations, failure to provide compensation, and permitting unsafe school buildings. The crash on July 21, 2025, killed 36 people, including 28 students, and injured around 200 others.

The plaintiff claims that despite public promises of compensation, no payments have been made to victims’ families. The accused are alleged to be jointly and individually responsible for the tragedy and subsequent failures in accountability and rehabilitation.
