The man who recently filed a murder case against former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina received a death threat over the phone, Dhaka Tribune reported. The case involves the police shooting that killed grocery store owner Abu Sayed in Dhaka’s Mohammadpur area on July 19.
The threat was made shortly after the case was filed, with the caller contacting the plaintiff from a French phone number around 2.30pm on Tuesday.The caller reportedly questioned the plaintiff about the consequences of filing a case against Sheikh Hasina, asking about his home location, his commitment to the case, and whether he had received any money related to it.
“Caller asked where is my house, whether I can stay there, whether I have received any money in this case, how far I will go with this case, whether I can survive,” the man told Dhaka Tribune.
Sheikh Hasina, who recently resigned as PM and fled the country amid political unrest, is one of the accused in this case. This is the first legal action taken against her since her resignation on August 5. Alongside Hasina, several high-profile individuals have been implicated, including Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader, former Home Minis home minister Asaduzzaman Khan, and former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun. Other notable figures named in the case include Habibur Rahman, the former DMP Commissioner, and Biplob Kumar Sarker, former DMP Joint Commissioner.
Hasina’s resignation was preceeded by a student-led uprising and allegations of widespread human rights violations during her 15-year tenure, including the extrajudicial killings of political opponents.
After her resignation, the military appointed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus to lead a caretaker government to restore stability and initiate democratic reforms in Bangladesh.
