Staff Reporter:
A Dhaka court yesterday issued arrest warrants against 41 individuals, including ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ex-minister Obaidul Quader, in connection with two killings in Mohammadpur dur-ing the July Mass Uprising.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Jamshed Alam took cognizance of the charge-sheets and set February 15 for submission of reports on executing the warrants.
Other notable figures named include former ministers Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Hasan Mahmud, Ja-hangir Kabir Nanak, lawmaker Sadek Khan, and leaders of the now-banned Bangladesh Chhatra League.
The cases stem from two incidents: truck driver Hossain was shot and killed on July 19, 2024, prompt-ing his mother, Rina Begum, to file a case on August 31, 2024. Police later filed a charge-sheet against 34 individuals, including Sheikh Hasina.
In a separate case, CNG-run auto-rickshaw driver Sobuj was shot on August 4, 2024, dying later that day. His brother, Monir Hossain, filed the case on September 1, 2025, and police filed a charge-sheet on November 27, 2025, against 30 people, including Sheikh Hasina and Obaidul Quader.
