The prosecution has filed a petition to begin the trial of 26 accused in connection with the killing of Mir Mahfuzur Rahman Mugdha and ten others during the July Revolution in Uttara, Dhaka. The petition was submitted before the three-member panel of International Crimes Tribunal-1, chaired by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mojumdar, with Justices Md Shafiul Alam Mahmud and Md Mohitul Haque Enam Chowdhury as members. Prosecutor Gazi MH Tamim read out two charges against the accused and sought the start of the trial, while state defense lawyer Amir Hossain argued that his clients were falsely implicated for political reasons. The tribunal set July 23 for the next hearing.

According to the first charge, on July 18, 2024, Mugdha, a student of Bangladesh University of Professionals, was shot dead while assisting injured protesters and distributing water and biscuits in Uttara. Several others were also killed that day, including Jahiduzzaman Tanvin and Sheikh Fahmin Zafar. The second charge states that four more people were shot dead in Uttara on July 19, 2024.

Eight of the accused, including former DMP Uttara Zone DC Mirza Salahuddin and Uttara East Police OC Mojibur Rahman, are in custody, while 18 remain absconding.
