A court in Bangladesh has initiated a murder investigation into former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and six high-ranking officials from her administration.
The case relates to the police killing of a man during civil unrest last month.
Hasina, 76, fled to India by helicopter last week as protesters flooded the streets of Dhaka, marking the end of her authoritarian rule.
Lawyer Mamun Mia, who filed the case on behalf of a private citizen, confirmed that the Dhaka Metropolitan Court has ordered police to accept the murder case against the accused individuals.
In addition, it named four top police officers appointed by Hasina’s government who have since vacated their posts, including former police inspector general Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun.
It also named detective branch chief Harun-or-Rashid, and senior Dhaka Metropolitan Police officers Habibur Rahman and Biplob Kumar Sarker.
