A new murder case has been filed against Bangladesh’s deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 62 others, including ex-Ministers of her cabinet, over the death of a fish trader during the quota reform protests in the country, a media report said on Monday.
The case, filed late on Sunday, was the latest in the slew of cases filed against the 76-year-old leader after her resignation and fleeing to India on August 5 following a massive protest by students against a quota system in government jobs.
It was filed by Shahnaz Begum, the wife of Md Milon, who was shot dead on July 21 while returning home from a local fish market, the ‘Dhaka Tribune’ newspaper reported.
